It does not matter whether you are young or old this is a SPORT for "ALL AGES."   The employment of strategy, tactics, teamwork, and the ability to "outsmart" the enemy is just the beginning.  To win a team must utilize all of its resources, remain calm while under attack, and implement plan "B" when plan "A" is not going as planned.  The "Art" of WAR at its best where everyone is a survivor at the end of the day; only to return again to prove they are worthy and HAVE GAME!
