=== Referee training in Kiulu, 2009 ===

On 3 December 2009, the Sabah co-curricular training centre, Pusatko Sabah, published a report concerning a Level 1 paintball technical and marshalling course.[1]

The programme was organised by Pusatko Sabah in cooperation with Splatzones Paintball and took place at Kem Malangang in Kiulu, Sabah.

A total of 34 participants, consisting of Pusatko instructors, received training in paintball technical procedures, officiating and game rules.

The programme featured '''Gabrielle Sheila''', identified in the report as the head referee of Persatuan Paintball Sabah.

According to the contemporary account, Sheila had approximately four years of experience as a paintball marshal and had recently officiated at the [[World Cup Asia]] tournament at Bukit Jalil.

The course introduced participants to paintball rules, refereeing procedures and the responsibilities involved in supervising matches.

This report provides evidence of the Sabah Paintball Association's involvement in referee development before the national federation formation initiative of 2010.

It also documents cooperation between paintball personnel and an established educational training programme in Sabah.
