Paintball? What's that?

Paintball is an intense, exciting sport that has taken the world by storm and is now one of Australia's fastest growing sports. Paintball has been described as a combination of Cops & Robbers, Hide and seek, with a little bit of Chess throwern in.

What's a Paintball?

Paintballs are a small ball made with a thin gelatin shell & Filled with a biodegradable, coloured filling to leave a coloured mark on the opposing players when the impact on them. The Paintballs are propelled by markers powered by compressed CO2 gas.

Sounds Great. But is it Safe?

All players are provided with a specifically tested and approved face mask & goggles which must be worn while out side of the safety zone. All commercial Paintball fields have specially trained refs to ensure that the players follow the rules and don't do anything which could harm them selfs or others. With this in mind it is worth noting that the American Insurance industry statistics show that a Paintball player is 13 times LESS likely to sustain an injury than if they were playing Net ball. Also, most injuries that occur are caused by tripping or falling over,(ie Bruises & Strains,) NOT from being marked by the Paintball markers. All in all, Paintball is a very safe sport when played under proper supervision by trained refs. If you play Paintball or are thinking of playing checkout Durty Dans Safety.faq, courtesy of Warpig.

Who can play?

Basically anyone, Male or Female. Paintball is the great Equalizer. You don't need big muscles or brute strength. You don't even have to be able to run fast. Paintball is great adrenaline pumping fun but you don't need to be an athlete to enjoy it. You can even play it if your wheelchair bound, (best in an indoor Paintball center). The only requirement for NSW is that you are 18 years of age or greater.

OK, so how do I get a game?

Paintball is intense fun when you play with a bunch of your friends or work mates. Form a group & make a booking by looking in your local yellow pages under Paintball for you nearest field. Have no group? No worries call the field operator who can book you in with another group.
