The Indiana Captains Council was formed in the fall of 1996 by the captains of several Indiana paintball teams. The goal of the council was to create a player-run organization designed to promote tournament paintball throughout the state of Indiana. This is accomplished through the hosting of a 5-man tournament series held at various fields throughout the state.

Here you will find a wealth of resources, all pertaining to paintball within the state of Indiana. This site is geared for all types of paintball players, not just tournament paintball. A wealth of information can be found within these pages.

The ICC isn't just open to Indiana players, all players are welcome. In fact, many teams from Michigan, Kentucky, Tennessee, Ohio, and Illinois make the trip to participate in the ICC 5-man Series. The ICC 5-man Series is geared for both novice and amateur players. Last year, the ICC 5-man Series averaged 44 teams across 6 events, making it one of the largest series of it's type in the country!

If you're new to tournament paintball, our ICC Rookie Series might be for you. These series, held at fields throughout the state, are geared toward players who have not participated in any tournaments prior to January 1st of the calendar year. This ensures that new players will have an opportunity to try tournament paintball without having to worry about getting "rolled" by a more experienced team.

As you can see, the ICC has a wide variety of programs to offer all levels of players. I encourage you to take a look around and feel free to ask any questions that you might have.

ICC Mission Statement

The Indiana Captains Council (ICC) is a player-run organization whose purpose is to promote the sport of paintball within Indiana. The ICC also seeks to involve paintball businesses in the growth of the ICC and paintball as a whole.

Strategic Intent

To raise public awareness of paintball and create a positive image of the sport to all entities who come in contact with it.
To become an integral part of the success of paintball within the state of Indiana.
To develop and document a business model which can be used to start similar player-run organizations in other states.

Our Vision

The ICC is structured to give the players a voice in how the league operates. By functioning in this manner, the ICC ensures that the league is always working to the benefit of the players, as well as the paintball community in general.

The ICC also believes that by working with paintball businesses we will be able to develop a relationship that will help to accelerate the growth of paintball. Through this relationship, the ICC seeks to gain promotional support from local, national, and international paintball businesses. In return, the ICC offers promotional support and knowledge sharing.

Our Competitive Advantage

The ICC’s competitive advantage comes from its strength as a player-run organization. The ICC is able to respond quickly and appropriately to the needs and wants of the paintball player community as a direct result of its structuring as a player-run organization. Further, the ICC’s philosophy of collecting and distributing ongoing feedback between the players and businesses involved with the ICC help us to accurately identify wants and needs of the entire paintball community.

The Culture We Strive For

Above all, the ICC works to promote sportsmanship and camaraderie among the members of the league. We believe that these qualities are critical to the long-term, enduring success of the league and paintball in general. Further, we wish to foster a relationship that will bind the paintball players and businesses into working toward common goals.

The Winning Outcome

We believe that the end result of this mission statement will be a stronger, larger paintball community and that paintball will be viewed positively by those who do not play the sport of paintball.
