Frequently Asked Questions
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.
How old do I need to be to play?
You must be at least 10 years old to play. All participants under the age of 18 must have a parent sign a waiver. Every player must sign a waiver prior to playing on our fields.
