Paintball:
Jarod Vance
On University Preparatory school's campus hobbies vary from dancers to artists, and writers to singers; the diversity is undeniable. Junior, Jarod Vance enjoys paintballing in his spare time, "Paintball is unique because there are not a lot of people in Redding that I know of that play paintball." The hobby requires more accessories that one could imagine. Jarod explains that in order to play paintball one must have a decent gun, a C02 tank, o-rings, a mask, gloves, long sleeved clothes, jeans or heavy pants, and paintballs. He belongs to a team in Eureka called E.T.C. (Eureka Tactical Crew) and on most occasions he scrimmages against his friends.

According to Jarod the rules of paintballing tend to vary depending on who you play with. His personal rules are as follows: players are eliminated after being shot once, one constantly has to be in motion, and masked at all times. One must not leave boundaries and everyone's FPS (feet per second - checked by performing a test shot) must be checked before playing. If Jarod could find a competitive league, he would definitely think about playing for a bigger team. Jarod concludes by asserting, "If anyone plays paintball here in Redding, they should get a hold of me so we can paintball once and a while."
