We are comprised of Public Safety Professionals and Civilian players.
We are looking for players who know honor and sportsmanship comes above winning because...
It's just a game!
In California, The Office of the Sheriff is a county level law enforcement
agency. The members of this agency are called Deputy Sheriffs. The 'Sheriff's
Office' is delegated the tasks of running the local jail, serving as court
bailiffs, transporting prisoners, police patrol of all unincorprated areas of
the county, and running any county-wide services.
In early 2000, several San Francisco Bay Area Deputy Sheriffs got together and started playing Paintball. The very first time we played, we were not impressed with the quality of people we played with. The biggest complaint was the lack of sportsmanship, and very poor attitude about the game. We knew that there were players out there who felt the same as we did. We wanted players who felt that honor and sportsmanship comes above winning. We Wanted players who know...
"Its just a game!"
We built a team of public safety officals and as we played found a lot of civillian players who shared our ethics of sportsmanship and fun over victory. The team evolved into a mixed law enforcement and civillian team it is today.
Team Lockdown is well respected in the Bay Area for our openess, sportsmanship and dedication to having a fun day. We don't hold any qualifications to play with us, turn up at an event, introduce and play with us. Members are chosen for fair play and sportsmanship, not how good they play paintball. We can always work on your Paintball, we cannot work on your attitude.
Where did the name come from? The lack of sportsmanship on the playing field was a problem.
Deputies know what to do if you have a problem:
