Do you know the low, and high crawl?

Movement Strategies

In paintball, the success of a team can greatly depend on the
movement of its individual members. Here are some movement tactics
to get you where you need to go, without being seen or heard- or
fired at.

Aside from walking, there are three general moves that can be made
in paintball:

The Low Crawl

This type of movement will give players the lowest silhouette, and
is best used when concealment is low, such as in a field. Or, this
can also be used to still move ahead when enemy fire prevents a
player from getting up off the ground.

To use this movement, the body will be flat on the ground, with the
gun held from the top. The butt of the weapon will drag along the
ground, as the player pushed forward with his or her arms, and
pulls their legs in. As this movement continues, the player moves
with a low profile.

The High Crawl

This movement is faster than the low crawl, but still provides a
low silhouette. This can be used when there is better concealment,
but the player is still in the line of enemy fire.

When moving with the high crawl technique, the gun is kept close to
the body's chest area. The legs will be kept well behind the rear
area to stay lower. To move, the player will alternate putting a
leg and elbow forward.
