Speedball field 1 consists of 25 wooden bunkers made in various shapes and sizes. It is approximately 300 ft long and 150 ft wide on rolling terrain with the flag station located in the middle.

Everybody loves this field. We have taken playhouses and turned them into a fort at the top of the hill. With 12 bunkers at the bottom of the hill this fort lets just a couple of people defend it with a much larger group attacking it. The flag sits up on the ridge just a few yards in front of the fort. The only problem is there are no bunkers on the hill. Once you leave the protection of the last bunker at the bottom of the hill you will have to use the hill as your protection and once at the top you must get the flag and get back down the hill and back to the safety of the back bunker. Don't think that 2 or 3 against 6 or 8 is a given for the larger team. So far the wins are running at 50/50.

You must pull all your team's strategies to figure out how to get across the creek and come back with the flag. If you fail to utilize all your abilities as a team you will end up losing. Usage of the land throughout this game is important because natural obstacles and the terrain are your only defense.

Imagine 3 acres of 1000 pine trees with trails cutting back and forth throughout the field. Teamwork is essential to this game also. It is a game of roving patrols and snipers waiting to ambush. You must be very aware of who is on your team because you never know who is around the next tree. Mental awareness and quick thinking are a must when playing this game. Forts will be added to this field later in the season.

The Spools

This game takes place on a tree covered plateau. The field is covered with small spools that have been turned into snakes and pyramids, and large spools that are big enough to give protection to a small army. Some players have called The Spools the best field in the area.
