How it Fell Togeather

The first member to have a paintball marker was Spencer (NSA).  His big brother Jacob got a new paintball marker called a ViewLoader Orion.  Spencer know interested in the sport got his brothers Brass Eagle - Samurai.  Once he got his marker he invited Mitchell down to show him the marker.  Mitchell (SSA) was intrequed at the idea of such adrenaline-pumping sport. 

Spencer then invited Mitchell down the next week for a game.  Jacob lent Mitchell his VL Orion and Spencer invited his crazy uncle who had just got a Surge down for a game.  It was a blinstering hot day for a game but nothing could have stopped them from going out.  It was a match to remember, and Mitchell will never forget what getting hit with a paintball for the first time felt like.  All three people got hit atleast 10 times each.  Mitchell took 3 blistering shots from about 7 feet from the Surge to the neck.  Everyone had a great time.

Just two weeks after playing Mitchell bought a paintball marker.  He was so impressed with the performance of Jacobs Orion, he bought one too.  Although Mitchell sometimes customizes his to look all black.

The A.S.A. is Formed

One day at school Mitchell, Spencer, Jimmy, and Mathew were all in computer class. Spencer had been looking at a picture of his marker on the internet beside Mitchell.  Mitchell noticed Spencer surfing on paintball websites and decided to go on a few too.  Jimmy came over and saw what they were looking at.  He mentioned that he also had heard of paintballing and was interested.  They agreed that they should form a paintball team. 

Everyone thought it was a great idea and alot of team names were thrown around including Paintball Maffia,  The wolf pack, etc.  Jimmy and Spencer had just about settled on Paintball Mafia, but Mitchell just wasn't going for it.  Mitchell suggested they call themselves "East Side Assassins". Jimmy had invited Mitch, Spencer, and Mathew down the weekend before for some X-box and when they played Jimmy's basketball game they were always "East Side Assassins".  Spencer and Jimmy liked it but Jimmy told Mitch we couldn't just steal the name.  Right away Mitchell knew what to call the team... All Side Assassins. 

It was perfect, if you stand in the middle between where Mitchell, Biship, Little Tony, and Mathew live each is in a seperate direction.  All sides of the compass were covered thus All Side.  Mitchell became South, Little Tony became North,  Jimmy became East, and Mathew became West.

Since the Beginning

Since the beginning there have been some changes to the team.  Mainly the addition of the teams newest member - Greg. Greg heard Mitch and Spencer talking about going paintball and mentioned he also had a marker, a Brass Eagle Stingray II.  Since then Greg has played with the team many times and has become a main member, taking over as WSA.

Also Jacob, Jammie, and sometimes even Rodney come out and paintball with us and can always be counted on as callups if ever needed.

Jimmy Keefe has also become a more involved member since finally getting his dream marker - a tippmann 98 custom. For more info on that go to the what's new page.
