What
is Paintball?
- Paintball is a sport that
involves teams with 2 or more players. Players work with their
teammates and strategize what moves they make to capture the flag.
During the game, players are supposed to fire paintballs at the
opposing team to score points and eventually capture the flag. When a
player is successfully hit by a paintball that breaks and leaves a
splat, you are then eliminated until the next game begins. Once all
players are eliminated from one team, the opposing team wins and the game
is over. Traditional games last from 5 to 15
minutes.

Is
it safe?
- Like all action sports,
paintball requires a moderate amount of physical exertion. Players
will run, crawl, jump and roll to escape being hit by the opponents
paintball. There are a few simple rules to follow and paintball can be
a very safe and fun sport. Paintball markers must always be checked
with a chronograph prior to a player participating in a game. This
checks the speed at which the paintballs are being fired from the
paintball marker. The legal limit is not to go over 280 feet per
second. Always wear your protective goggles while on the field. Always
use a barrel plug on our paintball marker at all times until you enter
the field and the referee instructs you to remove it. Never fire your
paintball marker while off of the playing field. For everyones safety,
there are no exceptions to these rules.
