Using Hand Signals Hand signals are used for silent communication between team members and as members gain more skill in understanding and using the hand signals, they will become better players. There are seven hand signals and they represent ambush, attack, enemy seen, get down, halt, hurry up and okay. Since these signals are known among opposing teams, it is best if teams customize the hand signals especially for their group so the other team cannot interpret their signals.
