In the Battle of Life, it is not the critic who counts. Not the one who points out how the strong have stumbled or where the doer of a deed could have done better.

The credit belongs to those who are actually in the arena...who at the best, know in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if they fail, at least fail while daring greatly, so that their place shall never be with those whose cold and timid souls who have tasted neither victory nor defeat.

Welcome to the Childhood Issues Anonymous (aka C.I.A.) web site. Childhood Issues Anonymous is a tournament paintball team, based out of New Orleans, LA. We prefer to play as a 5-man team, although we are currently in a rebuilding phase, which has left us with only a three man active roster at this time. Hopefully this site will give you an idea of who we are, what we are about, and why we love paintball. Thank you for checking it out, and I hope you come back to check on our team's progress. I would like to take this opportunity to thank several other people as well.

To my teammates' wives and girlfriends, for allowing me to take your men away on weekends. You know, you could come out and play with us every once in a while...

To the Ole Miss Rebels, who have helped us out on more than one occasion, and with whom it has always been a pleasure to work with.

And a special thanks to all the people who helped us with equipment troubles , air, and advise during our first tournaments, even though we were playing against you.

Childhood Issues Anonymous would also like to thank Todd at Bayou Dragon Paintball, for all of his help. Todd, thank you for providing our team with a field we are proud to call home.
