How old do you need to be to play paintball?

Paintball is enjoyed by a tremendous range of people. We feel that 9 and above is the best age. however, we do have an excellent low impact option that work great as party options for kids 7-10. While we do recommend certain ages, it really is up to the parent to determine if their child is ready to participate. Its also great to see when adults and kids join together to play as this creates lasting memories for both.  For anyone younger than 7, we do have a Gel Blaster party option that is ultra-low impact.   All particpants, regardless of age, must have the ability for the safety equipment to fit properly and they must be capable of following the safety rules.

What should I wear to play paintball?

Wear comfortable clothing that you can run around in and do not mind getting dirty. While the paint will wash out, you can get dirt and grass stains as well. Bringing a change of clothes for the car ride home can also be a good idea.We also recommend a knit cap or some kind of head cover as well as gloves. This will act as extra padding. Our pro-shops will also have this available for purchase if you need.

Does paintball hurt?

This is a common question people ask about paintball. While getting hit can sometimes “sting”, most of the time, you can barely feel the hit. There are a couple of ways to avoid unnecessary discomfort. Wear appropriate clothing and respect our rule to not shoot up close. Also, we offer a new “lo-impact” version of paintball which is sweeping the nation in popularity. If millions of people are playing and loving it, we know you will too.
