Hi, and thanks for visiting the ISPPA website.  Things are still a little clunky, as I'm learning how to use all of the features and functions of the site.

The ISPPA has been set up to help organize the growing pump paintball community.  The current resurgence in pump play we've been seeing has been great, but we don't want to see it come and go like some goofy fad.  We feel that by bringing the current tournament promoters, message boards, and pump communities together, we can make sure that paintball never forgets its roots.

Pump play in Southern California has been on the rise for the past couple of years.  The Old School Challenge 3-man and 5-man events keep getting bigger and better every year.  The National Stockplayers Association just completed their first full season of 5-man play and is gearing up for their big Nationals event.  The X-Pug has just gotten started and is making great progress.  Players have been flocking to these events for many reasons; Lower costs, less attitudes, less over-shooting, and greater sportsmanship to name a few.  As semis trend toward even faster firing markers, pump play is becoming a more viable solution to bringing in new players and retaining them.  The wheels are already in motion, it's up to the entire community to make sure we stay on the right path.
