Spec Ops Paintball

The best missions aren't always the toughest ones.

Sometimes they're the ones your kids never forget.

Meet Francis - former Australian Special Forces Commando, dad, and founder of Spec Ops Paintball.

After years serving in Special Forces, these days his favourite missions involve Nerf blasters, plenty of laughs, and watching families create memories together.

This upcoming Father's Day, make a few memories of your own!

This coming Father's Day, skip the socks.

Give Dad a mission instead.

🏆 SPEC OPS 5v5 GEL BALL SPEEDBALL TOURNAMENT – WRAP UP 🏆

What a day. Nine teams, twenty-seven matches, and a whole lot of gel flying. Yesterday's inaugural Speedball Tournament delivered exactly what we hoped it would.

A massive thank you to every player and every team who walked through our doors and battled it out. You played hard, you played fair, and you played with honour. That's everything we stand for at Spec Ops. It was fantastic seeing the speedball community come together for tactical action, teamwork and a genuine love of the sport.

🏁 FINAL STANDINGS 🏁
🥇 1st – Anarchy
🥈 2nd – Empire
🥉 3rd – Ghost Retro
4th – Skittlez
5th – Anubis
6th – Rangers
7th – Outlaws
8th – Berserkers
9th – Raiders

It was a close fight right to the end, with some of the final placings coming down to Round Differential!

Congratulations to Anarchy. You've officially earned the first spot on the Spec Ops Speedball Plaque.

And to our referees from The Armoury, this day simply doesn't happen without you. Every one of you volunteered your time to keep 27 matches running fairly and safely for over seven hours straight. That's a huge commitment, and we see it. Thank you doesn't quite cover it, but thank you 🙏

A huge thank you as well to Jesse, who spent the day behind the camera capturing all the action 📷 There are A LOT of photos for him to work through, so thank you in advance for your patience while Jesse sorts through them all! We'll post the photos here on the event page as soon as they're ready.

And finally, thank you to the pit crew, supporters and everyone who came along, supported the teams and helped make the day what it was.

Got feedback or ideas for next time? We'd genuinely love to hear what you thought. Send us a message or shoot us an email!
