Meet a Paintball Dad: A Family that Slays together, stays together
One of the coolest things that I think you can see on the field is seeing a paintball family all playing together. Not only are they spending time having fun together, but they're building memories for a lifetime. It also shows generational interest in a sport that we love, and is the epitome of growing the sport. So, to learn more about this, I asked Stephen Graham about himself and the two growing monsters he brings to the field.
What got you into paintball? How long have you been playing? What team do you play with now, and how did you find them?
Well, back when I was 16, some of the guys who graduated a year ahead of me joined the Marine Corps. When they got back from boot camp, they wanted to go play paintball and show off their boot skills. Honestly I wasn’t very impressed because the way they played was very military-like and that turned me off to paintball a little bit. It wasn’t competitive and at that age that’s all I was about. Fast forward to when I was 22. When I got out of the Navy I met a guy at work who played speedball and it was a wrap. That was my game. Now through the years with traveling for work and having babies I haven’t always been able to play full time but I always told myself when my kids were old enough to play I would go back to the game fully with them. Myself and both of my kids are members of Capital Punishment Paintball. We played with another team and some of us decided to split off and form our own team. My daughter is actually a founding member of the team.
How did your kids get into paintball? What ages did they start playing? When did you know it was something that you’d be able to do with them?
My daughter “Triple Tap” is 14 now and my son “Carnage” is 10. I knew when the kids were old enough I’d try to get them into paintball. When my daughter was about 9, I picked up a cheap set up for her and we started doing rec days. Right out the gate she refused to wear padding other than elbow pads, which she had a brand new set of. She’s a tough kid. First day out, she took a hit on the neck and a hit on the back of her fingernail. Her finger was bleeding and she was holding her hand at a weird angle so I asked her if she was ok and she replied, “Yeah I’m fine, I’m just trying to not bleed on my new pads.” I knew right then and there that she was gonna be an absolute savage in this game.
My son's first outing was actually at my daughters 10th bday party. I rented a private ref and we had a private field so I let my son, who was 7 at the time, join in since it was a controlled setting. He was just kinda fumbling around out there not having a clue but he was excited to be playing paintball with dad and big sis. Well, this is how Triple Tap got her call sign, at the party her and Carnage were on opposite teams and they were both walking toward a corner of a connex box and didn’t see each other until they both rounded the corner at the same exact time. She proceeded to put 3 right in his chest at point blank range. She’s been Triple Tap every since. He walked around with no shirt on all weekend telling anyone who would listen about how cool his paintball “Rings of Fire” were. He’s been begging me for 3 years to go play at the big games. This is his first full season of big game scenario play tho now that he’s 10.

Did you start them with 50 cal, or did they hop right into the deep end with 68? When did you get them their own gear? What did you get them since they are smaller? Can you recommend places for clothes and gear that fit kids?
Nah, we never messed with 50 cal. Don’t get me wrong, I think it’s a great tool to introduce younger kids to the game but my kids are the children of a pipe welder and a police officer. We don’t really coddle them on much of anything. They have grandparents for that, lol. You could say that they’re just not made for the “low impact” version of anything.
For the gear, yeah, I won’t lie, they’re spoiled there. They’ve never played with a rental gun. The best setup I’ve found for the little ones---let’s say maybe 9 to 12 or 13---is a Mini GS, a 45/4500 peanut, and a Pinokio Speed loader. That’s about the lightest setup you’re going to find and the short tank and close front grip really helps make the marker more comfortable for kids with short arms.
My daughter has pretty much outgrown her GS now. She will be upgrading to an RSX with a 68/4500 very soon. My son actually made the decision on his own to go away from the electros and he left his Mini behind as well. He enjoys mechanical play so he has a Planet Eclipse MG100 that he can use for magfed or hopperfed.
As far as clothing, whew when they’re very small there isn’t a lot of options. We went with kids BDU pants until they were big enough to fit into the HK Army HSTL Youth pants. HK also offers a Youth jersey as well in that line but we have team jerseys so no need of that.
Oh, I can’t believe I didn’t mention this first. Find a set of Dye i4s. Mask is very important and I honestly don’t think there’s a better mask out there for kids.

What was their initial reaction to both being shot and eliminating someone for the first time?
So I already covered this a little bit in a previous question. I’ll give some advice here tho. Do not, under any circumstances, take your kid in the backyard and shoot them “to see if they’ll want to play”. A couple reasons here. One, the goal of paintball is to shoot the other people, not get shot. Two, if they’re standing there, all tensed up, waiting for a hit nervous as hell about how bad it’ll hurt.......it’s going to hurt a lot more. These are my opinions only so take from it what you will.
Introduce your kids to the fun aspects of paintball first. Shooting other people, capturing flags, holding a base, completing a mission then if they get shot in the process of having fun it won’t be that big of a deal. And if you think your kid might cry, get them a shaded lens so they can save some dignity while they suck it up. We all know a paintball can hurt like hell for a few seconds. The shaded lens allows your kid those few seconds to compose themselves without anyone realizing they’re having a moment.
Do your kids follow the youtubers and e-celebs out there? Are they fortnite kids? How do you notice their generation doing things, following things, or learning things differently than yours? Do you think it’s better/worse/just different? Is there anything that they have that you wish you did coming up and playing? Anything you wish that they didn’t?
Well, my son is big into Minecraft. All 3 of us play video games together. It’s something we’ve always done but he is the one who will sit there and want to watch YouTube videos of Minecraft players.
As far as learning differently than me, I’m not too sure. I love to read and I’ve always tried to instill that love into my kids. I read to both of them every day from the day they were born. They both still read, they both play sports in addition to paintball, they both do chores, help with yard work and household projects, and they both play outside a lot AND they do have electronics.
I think for me as a parent the thing that’s different from when I was growing up is balancing all this. My kids both have phones and games and such. It’s 2020 tho and they need to know how to use all this technology. So what I’ve always tried to teach them is the balance between having your nose stuck in a device constantly and living your life. They both do really well with that balance. We’ve been in situations where we’ve seen another parent take away a kids device and it’s total meltdown. When my kids saw this and both looked at me and kinda rolled their eyes I knew we might be doing it right.

Do your son and daughter play like you, or do they have their own playing styles? Do you try to explain to them how they might want to try playing or grit your teeth and let them make their own mistakes on the field?
Neither of them are as aggressive as I am...yet. They’ll move around and stuff but they haven’t quite figured out how to pick their spots on their own of when to make that big move or not. Generally speaking, when dad takes off, they’re right on my heels (Editor's Note: I can attest to this. I have seen Carnage trying to pass his dad going over a hill at the 50 of Bones and Ashe's Final Battle with absolutely zero hesitation).
I definitely talk to them a lot about stuff. Paintball is a skill sport in my opinion, just like any other sport. You have to learn and what better way to learn than have a coach? I’m never hard on them about anything but if I see a way they can improve or a situation they could have played differently I’ll point it out to them.
The great thing about Capital Punishment is we are all really close. The kids aren’t mascots, they’re contributing members of the team. So having that group of players around them constantly is a big help as well. They’re seeing how old school speedballers play, they’re seeing how we make decisions on the field, they’re seeing how we use radio comms and verbal comms to be effective, they’re seeing how our snipers play, they’re seeing how to support an AT player when he moves, etc. Guys on the team always talk to them to help them out with stuff they see as well, they really are surrounded by a wealth of knowledge as it pertains to paintball every single time they come to the field.
When you’re playing on the field, how do you manage that with the kids? Do you stay with them the entire time, or try to give them some rope and let them go off on their own? How do you balance being Dad, and individual playing time for both you and the kiddos?
So, some parents might have a hard time with the way I do it. We get there a day early if it’s a field we haven’t played. We walk the field so the kids know where the parking lot is and are familiar with the field. Once it’s game on tho sometimes we stay together and sometimes we don’t. It really depends on where the game takes us. Not to mention we may be eliminated at different times or run out of paint and air at different times.
Triple Tap is pretty self sufficient, she will get her own paint, air, food, make her way on and off the field without me, etc. Carnage, being only 10, he's usually looking for someone to run with. He will latch on to anyone on the team, it doesn’t have to be me particularly. We also have other teams that we see at the field all the time and have alliances with and the kids know they can always go to them as well if they need help. The paintball community as a whole I’ve noticed will bend over backwards and jump thru hoops to help a kid out and make sure they’re having fun. It’s one of the great things about this game and community.

How has being a dad and playing with your kids changed your attitude on the field? Has it? How about your teammates?
I honestly don’t think playing with them has changed my attitude at all. I’ve always been the type of player who doesn’t wipe, calls my hits, and is very friendly with opponents and team mates. I think I play the game with integrity and I’m glad I can show my kids that that’s the way to do it. Honestly they’re expected to show good values and integrity in everything they do, including sports.
It’s something I’m very big on as a parent. As far as the team goes, playing with these guys and having my kids play with them is great. There aren’t really any sports I can think of where a dad can actually take the field and play wearing the same jersey as their kids. One of the reasons I love this game and this team.

Do you see your competitive nature coming out in your kids? How do they compete with each other on the field?
You know, they really don’t compete or compare each others accomplishments on the field at all. I think if they were both boys or both girls I’d see more of that but they really just both enjoy traveling and playing. As far as my competitive nature in them.....I don't know about that. I’m very competitive in almost everything I ever do. They definitely aren’t like that yet. For them, I think it’s just more about going and having fun.
How do you prepare yourself and the kids differently for big games or scenarios that might take place on huge fields over multiple days? Is there anything that you would recommend (even things like having them drink more water beforehand or bringing more with them)?
So, we are a sports family. Hydrating is a big one before games if it’s going to be hot, as we do with all the sports. We make sure we eat a good breakfast, make sure if it’s going to be a cold game we have extra hoodies and things like that in case you get wet. I usually go over the field map with them, and if there is a mission pack that gets released prior to the event we will usually go over that as well. I kinda treat 'em like little adults when it comes to game prep. We don’t really do anything differently than any other player would do.
What has been your proudest dad moments on the field with both of them? What stories bring the biggest smiles to your face?
Man, I have so many moments that have made me proud of both of them on the field! For my daughter, there was a moment at Fulda Gap 2016, we pushed across the River behind a tank. When the tank went, myself, Triple Tap, and one other guy went. The other guy and I got eliminated on the way down the hill and the tank got eliminated as well. When I made it back up to the other side, I looked back down in the bottom of the ravine and saw my 10 year old daughter behind a big tree, gun up, shooting for all she’s worth while what seemed like the entire NATO team was spraying that tree with paint. She never backed down and kept shooting right up until she was eliminated. There were probably 40 grown men at the top of that hill who didn’t make that charge into the ravine.
For Carnage, the thing that makes me the most proud of him is his fearlessness. He will follow anyone on the team (and occasionally go on his own) into the most intense gun battles on the field. He’s been at the 50 at both of the CPX final battles we’ve attended this year, he’s never scared to stick his nose right in there with the most seasoned paintball players. Honestly that’s something that makes me proud of both of them. I can get myself into a hottest part of the field and be gun battling like crazy and turn around and they’re right there with me, shooting like crazy.

Put yourself in the shoes of a mom or dad who has never played or played very little, but have kids that want to try playing. What advice would you give to that parent?
Well, I think for parents who aren’t paintballers there are 2 prohibiting factors. First, some people are particular about the gun or war idea in paintball. For those parents, I’d say that’s not an issue. Paintball isn’t about guns and war. It’s really not even the same thing. It’s just a game of long range tag.
Second, paintball can be pretty financially draining. We all know that. Try to buy used gear, if your kid wants to go to play scenarios make sure you’re planning far ahead to get the best early bird or pre-reg prices.
What advice would you give to the parent of a kid that is trying to drag them out there to play together? Is there anything that you would tell them to try, or to avoid?
Oh, this is an easy one! Just go, you will not regret it. My kids aren’t grown yet but one day they will be and I have no doubt that some of the memories we are making together on the paintball field, at the staging area, in the hotels and AirBnB, and in the hours and hours of road trips in the truck back and forth to games will last them a lifetime. Definitely go play, go make your memories with your kids, they grow up fast.

What is the kind of moment that makes your eyes light up when you’re playing, knowing that if you pull something off it will be a highlight of the weekend? What do you live for when playing now? Does it actually still involve you? What was it before?
Well, as I mentioned earlier, I started as a speedball player. I’m always looking for that window to go bunker someone. I can’t even lie about it, thats always what I’m looking for. The real highlight for me now tho is all the attention the kids get. A lot of people are genuinely surprised to see little kids at a game not hiding in the back but actually up in the fire fights contributing to the game. Weather that’s holding a base, trying to take ground, collecting items for missions and running it back to command. Just actually being out there contributing to helping whatever side we are playing win the game. They’ve both won Young Gun awards in the past and that always is a highlight too. My daughter won Most Valuable Young Gun at CPX Bones and Ashes 2019 and then the very next year my son won the same award at the same event. That was really cool, they both still have their trophies. Carnage has actually already won 4 Most Valuable Young Guns so far this year. Lol, someone try telling him that 2020 is a crappy year.

15. Okay, most important question---which kid wins the one v. one??
So I cheated on this one and actually showed the kids this question. They both answered the same way. Carnage is no match for Triple Tap, she’d pretty much wreck him in a 1v1. Oddly enough, her and I have been playing together for 4 years and she won’t 1v1 against me but Carnage begs me all the time to do a 1v1 even though I would absolutely crush him. Maybe I’ll have to take him up on that soon!

Oddly enough, her and I have been playing together for 4 years and she won’t 1v1 against me but Carnage begs me all the time to do a 1v1 even though I would absolutely crush him. Maybe I’ll have to take him up on that soon!
