Traditional Paintball

Everyone!! That is the great thing about paintball. It is for men, women, children (that are at least 10), young and old. Athlete’s and non-athletes. There are no special skills involved in playing, you don’t have to be able to run fast, make the perfect catch or be a certain height. You can just be you, paintball is a game of strategy, so anyone can be great!

That’s one of the most commonly asked questions. The answer is, if you are wearing sensible clothing like a jacket or thick layers, then usually no. If you get hit by a paintball at close range on bare skin, then expect a sharp sting. By wearing the proper gear and clothing you minimize the chance of that happening.

Safety is very important to us and we do have a perfect safety record! You must be careful while running, but the only way a player can be seriously injured by playing paintball is if he or she removes their goggles during play or if a player uses a marker in an unsafe manner. Our referee’s are there to ensure that everyone follows the safety rules. Any infraction of the safety rules will result in immediate ejection from the field. It is always Safety FIRST!

The common presumption of non-players is that the sport of paintball caters to the Rambo’s of society, those people with a paramilitary bent. Little do they know that Paintball is a well organized, exciting, and expanding sport. It is a game and nothing more.

Paintball is an exciting game of Tag and Capture the Flag all rolled into one. There are many variations of the game, where two teams attempt to cross terrain, capture their opponents flag and return it to their own flag station without being marked by a paint pellet. Each player is equipped with a pneumatic marker that propels gelatin balls about the size of a bath bead. These capsules are filled with a washable paint that splatters upon impact. Games vary in time, but most players will get in 13 to 16 games a day.
