What is Paintball?

Paintball is played year around at organized outdoor playing fields. Paintball is a game played between two opposing teams who are trying to capture each other's flag and return it to the flag station. The only catch to all this is, you have to do this without getting zapped by a paintball. Of course you do get to shoot back with your paintball marker. Once you have been zapped you are out for that game. Do not be concerned because games last anywhere from a few minutes to 20 minutes. So you can play as many games as you would like in a day.

Who Plays Paintball?
Paintball is one of the only sports were men, women, and children can compete on a level playing field. Anyone from the age of 10 years old and up can play paintball. You will see all walks life playing paintball from children to their mom and dad, they all play paintball. Any physical type can play paintball too. You do not have to be a track or football star to be good at this game. Who plays paintball? Just about everybody can or does play paintball.

What is a Paintball?
A paintball is mostly a .68-caliber gelatin ball. It is filled with cornstarch, food coloring, and mineral oil. Paintballs are non-toxic and biodegradable. Paintballs come in all colors of the rainbow. Such as green, black, pink, yellow, and many more.

What Should I Wear?
When playing paintball, you will need loose fitting dark colored clothing. The dark colored clothing is to help you blend in to your natural environment. Some players wear camouflage, but we recommended some old clothes, something you would wear to work in the yard. Pants and a long sleeve shirt are also recommended. The paint should wash out of all your clothing. Running shoes or Hi-top cleats are preferred. Also, when you rent equipment you will be issued a pair of paintball goggles and a facemask that will cover your whole face.
