Q - What is Paintball?
A - Paintball is an outdoor/indoor participation sport.
  • It is a combination of childhood "hide & seek", but more sophisticated and challenging.  A group of paintball players usually divide into two equal teams, varying in size from five or six to as many as several hundred on a side. 
  • The object of the game is to go out and capture a flag.  You also try to eliminate opposing players by tagging them with a paintball expelled from a special paintball gun. 
  • When a paintball tags a player, the thin gelatin skin splits and the liquid inside leaves a paint mark on the player's clothes, to signify his or her elimination. 
  • A paintball gun uses carbon dioxide (CO2) to propel the paintball.
  • For safety, paintball players must always wear approve goggles to protect their
eyes and face during a game.  As long as the goggles are worn, paintball is a very
safe sport.  Insurance statistics indicated that paintball is safer than golf, tennis,
swimming and many other sports.
  • Staff Members on the field start and stop games, enforce the rules of play and control
  the sport's safety. 
  • Paintball is a sport played by people from all professions and lifestyles.  It is a
sport where women stand on an equal footing with men.  Physical size and
strength do not create a star; rather, it is one's ability to think (like Chess) that
helps make a star.
  • Paintball is a character building sport.  Players learn the importance of
teamwork, and gain self-confidence while developing leadership abilities.
