Team Summary

Zero Compromize one of the more deadly paintball teams of Ontario has made quite a name for themselves over the last year. The have attended 6 big games as a team and have only been on the losing side once… due to technical B.S. They started up last year around March, The Captain Nick D. Light and his 2 Assistant Captains Greg Light and Ash Alvaro want more people to play with on a regular basis. So we started taking friends out to Recball and they instantly fell in love with the sport and so one by one we made the team from all of our friends that showed interest. Which I think is the key to our success, because we are such good friends outside of paintball: four of us work together, we all hangout on a daily basis, Nick and Greg are brothers, we have old room mates the list goes on but the point is because we’re so close it makes us such an unstoppable force on the field… it just comes naturally to us. All of us from ZC encourage any and all kids to start a team! Get a group of buddies together it doesn’t have to be a paintball team it can be anything your interested in just do it with your friends the more the merrier!

ZC WHAT!
