Use the bunkers to dodge opposing team fire.
Don’t stand out in the open or rush to capture the other team’s flag until you gain confidence.
Spread out on the playing field and don’t huddle together with your teammates.
Move to the side of the bunkers when pushing forward.
Suggested Wear
Long sleeve shirts and loose-fitting pants.
Running shoes, hiking boots, or sports cleats.
- Baseball hat, hoodie, or beanie.
- Loose fitting clothing for comfort and agility such as sweats.
- Cloth gloves that fit snug and offer protection.
Beginner players are concerned that playing paintball will hurt. Paintball can hurt if you are not dressed properly, so follow Paintball USA’s Helpful Hints on how to dress. https://www.paintballusa.org/welcome-information
Wearing dark, loose sweatpants, jeans, cargo pants, paintball specific pants or rental jump suits are ideal. Paintball USA offers rental jump suits, pants and jackets in youth and adult sizes.
If you dress in layers, when hit with a paintball, chances are, it will bounce off your clothes and will not hurt as much. Dressing in layers enables you to remove clothing like jackets when you sweat on a hot day.
Sandals, flip flops and open toes shoes are not recommended for paintball. You can sprain an ankle or worse if you do not have proper footwear on the playing fields. Comfortable, hiking boots are best.
Paintballs
Paintballs are nontoxic, water soluble and do not stain clothing.
Paintballs are biodegradable so they do not harm the environment.
Wear older clothing because you are playing on dirt fields.
Paintballs left on the field from prior games become messy and stick to shoes so don’t wear your most expensive pair of athletic shoes.
There is no time limit for paintball birthday parties and groups. Use your paintballs wisely and you can certainly purchase more here when you run out. Upon arrival, fill out your waivers, proceed to registration, pick up your equipment, load up your equipment with paintballs and you are ready to rumble.
