Our Story
Founded February 5, 2015. We are the Mid-Atlantic chapter of SAS Woodsball. We currently represent Virginia and North Carolina. In the past West Virginia, Maryland and Washington, D.C. have been a part of our chapter. They have since been granted their own chapters.
We play woodsball, magfed, milsim and scenario games all over the Mid-Atlantic area. We are usually playing, practicing or hanging out.
Looking for a different kind of team? We have a fun, family atmosphere. With no emphasis on playing competitively. We pride ourselves on helping young players. As well as experienced players. And growing the sport.
We are always looking for new fields and events to try and challenge ourselves at.
WHO IS SAS?
The Silent Assassins Squad is an international paintball club headquartered in Milwaukee, Wisconsin with members across the United States, Canada, Europe, South America, Australia, and across the world. We are the largest paintball organization in the world and in the history of the sport. At this time we have approximately 1,500 members in 15 countries! Do a search for SAS Woodsball in Google, Youtube, or Facebook and you'll find us in the top 5 listings.
We got our start in the summer of 2008 with a couple local players who were looking for a challenge and wanted players with a strong sense of sportsmanship and fair play. We mostly play milsim woodsball, but we have members who enjoy every aspect of the sport and use every type of marker available. We're interested in the character and camaraderie of our members who go out of their way to congratulate opposing players on a good shot and who help fellow members when they need help.
The Silent Assassins Squad woodsball club is for people who have the same interest in, and respect for, the game of woodsball and each other. All of our members hold great value in sportsmanship, a solid competitive edge, fair play and respect for other players. We are diehards about the sport – meaning that we push forward right to the last man, even after we are out of ammo. We eat, sleep, drink, dream, breathe and can't get enough of woodsball. Our motto says it all, "Fight to the last man".
Our members are expected to stay cool under pressure. We love woodsball and we're a competitive team that likes to win. We know other players are equally competitive and eager to win, which means there will be times where players can get fired up and angry at the conduct of opposing players. SAS members support each other and help our teammates keep their cool in aggravating situations by working hard to find ways to resolve issues on or off the field. We're not asking anyone to get walked on or disrespected in a game, but we do want to make sure everyone involved in a dispute is treated fairly.
We hold high standards in how we play, standards we think are higher than most other clubs. Safety always comes first in our games, and we will stop a game at any time if a safety concern is discovered; we congratulate other players for a good shot or an outstanding move; we do not tolerate cheating from our members; and we want other people to learn from our example, that with a little effort and respect we can all truly enjoy this sport for a long time. We think of ourselves as the guides to follow for true woodsballers.
Finally, the SAS club believes in the value of the sport of paintball, whether a player wishes to play speedball or woodsball. Regardless of how you play, this sport requires quick thinking and good reflexes, it requires teamwork and good communication skills, and it promotes fitness and an excellent way to relieve stress. We want new players to have a good time and learn how to function as a team – we coach, mentor, challenge, protect, and develop new players so our team and the sport will continue to grow.
