Today I can say that we have over a few thousand players.\" \u003cbr/\u003e35. Various of players at the paintball field during the annual tournament\u003cbr/\u003ePaint balling fever has hit Iran\u003cbr/\u003eThe new-age sport from the United States is rapidly gaining popularity among young people in Iran and the number of Iranian paint ball players, teams and paint ball fans has risen sharply.\u003cbr/\u003ePaint balling in Iran is an expensive business - costing around $15 USD per player for a two hour game. \u003cbr/\u003eRecently, the number of paint ball clubs has grown across the country, and thousands of young Iranians, both male and female, are joining up. \u003cbr/\u003ePaint ball is a high-intensity, strategic, team game. Players wear protective clothing and do battle with compressed air guns firing capsules that splatter coloured paint on impact. \u003cbr/\u003ePaint ball players try to use air-filled bankers, sandbags, trees, truck tires and whatever comes to hand in the battlefield in order to escape the paint ball guns.\u003cbr/\u003eA game of paint ball usually involves two opposing teams seeking to eliminate all of the other team's players.\u003cbr/\u003eAlternatively, the players can try to complete an assigned task such as retrieving a flag from enemy territory, or eliminating a specific player.\u003cbr/\u003eFrom the start the game has attracted both casual and serious players.\u003cbr/\u003ePaint ball equipment varies depending on the type of paint ball game being played and the skill level of those playing. \u003cbr/\u003eEvery player is required to wear a mask for protection.\u003cbr/\u003eThere are around thirty paint ball teams professionally active in Iran and tournaments are held every year.\u003cbr/\u003eCurrently Iran 's greatest paint ball team is Datis, which has won all tournaments held in Iran since they began in 2005, as well as many championships held in Asia . \u003cbr/\u003eDatis paintball team won the 2006 Taiwan International Paint ball Championship, 2006 Thailand Paint ball Asia League Series, 2006 World Cup Asia in Malaysia and 2007 Thailand Paintb all Asia League Series.\u003cbr/\u003eBabak Esmaeili, a top player at team Datis,  believes paint ball helped him forget about his age and problems of his daily life. \u003cbr/\u003eReza Badrian, the captain of team Datis,  says paint ball helps him learn to control his stresses and that's why he enjoys the game.\u003cbr/\u003eIran has held annual paint ball tournaments since 2001 and each year the number of participating teams is rising. \u003cbr/\u003eThis year, there were about 30 teams in the tournament and Datis was once again the winner of the championship. \u003cbr/\u003eHamid Nickpour, Vice President of Iran's paintball association, which organises the annual tournament, believes paint ball has a bright future in Iran
