We are New York Khaos, a true New York–based competitive paintball team that has quickly made our mark in Major League Paintball. New York Khaos is made up of a group of friends who became family by playing rec-ball together at High Velocity Paintball in Long Island. What started as a small group eventually became a respected squad. This group eventually got wind of tournament paintball and thought to make their own team and give it a shot. They have since never looked back!
In the 2025 season alone, New York Khaos earned five podium finishes: one 3rd place in a regional tournament, two 3rd place finishes on the national stage, and two 1st place wins at national tournaments. What makes New York Khaos unique is the non-conventional playing style, our gritty, in-your-face, and raw energy on the field, our chill and lax demeanor off the field, and our style both on and off the field. We’re proud to represent our home field sponsor Hornets Nest Xtreme, and our main brand sponsor Hormesis. We are also proud to represent our other supporting sponsors Carbon, Bunker Kings, Virtue, and Long Live Paintball. As we are preparing to advance into the Division 4 sector next season, we are looking to fill our Division 5 lineup and expand our movement. Our goal is to develop 3 competitive lines of Division 5 players who will landing on the podium in every tournament they participate in, meanwhile having a line of of team members who are dedicated to helping with team practices and working towards making it onto the competing lines in the near future. The competing team member slots are limited, while the training/practice team slots are not capped.
This is for players looking to try out for one of our four Division 5 lines:
- Line 1: Division 5 5v5 national team, competing in NXL tournaments.
- Line 2: Division 5 3v3 national team, also competing in NXL and serving as subs for the 5v5 line.
- Line 3: Division 5 X-ball regional team, competing in local tournaments (with some crossover from national players).
- Line 4: Training/Practice team, supporting practices with the opportunity to move up.
We’re looking for players with some experience, but more importantly, we value potential, dedication, coachability, and team chemistry. Being able to work with the squad, learn, and grow is a must.
