The Graffiti Paintball Team in Brussels

Rooted in August of 2002, the Graffiti Paintball Team started as a five man team for tournaments in the Vlaamse Paintball League and other events organized by the same league. By November of the same year, they participated in Vosrt, Brussels for a paintball tournament that was held to promote the paintball sport in Belgium.

When the following year of 2003 came, the Graffiti paintball team came up with a new captain in the name of Frank Bodart. As the team go through rigid activities each day, their bond became stronger as well. The need to have a stronger bond was needed for them to face the challenge of the 7 man Ludika tournament in Ciney. As a team, they are fully convinced that joining various competitions would give them bigger rooms for improvement in honing their paintball skills and knowledge.

By June 14th of 2003, they started receiving accolades like the most fair play award by the Vlaamse Paintball League. To have women in their team was something that also made them edgy over their competitors. By June 28th of the same year, they decided to have a 3 man team composed of females. They were called the Graffiti Chicks and one of the girls even became the first Belgian female team captain.

In 2005, Graffiti became officially sponsored by the Empire. By year 2006, they got the Smarts Ion Sponsorship, with Empire sponsoring their gear and with Diablo for paint sponsorship deal. A few of their well-noted awards and recognitions came in 2004, with them acquiring the Snaphoots Trophee. The competition lasted for two days and the Graffiti Paintball team ended in 13th place out of a total number of 63 teams, making them a qualifier as a Pro team. They also participated in the VPL tour of 2004 and the Soultakers Cup 2004.
