Frequently Asked Paintball Questions
Paintball FAQ
Maybe it’s your first time playing paintball, or you might have a few more questions…
Anyone who is in reasonably good health can play paintball. Our minimum age requirement is 11 years old. Every player must fill out a waiver in order to play. Players under the age of 18 must have parental consent.
We use every safety precaution and every recommended safety feature available. By following the guidelines of correct and safe play, paintball is one the safest of all team sports. Regardless of where you play paintball, always play at a reputable field with referees, chronos, and safety guidelines. Don’t play at outlaw fields, backyards, or on property not designated for paintball play.
William Shatner said it best when he first played paintball: “The sting of the paintball is part of the mystique of the ballgame. So, the kick of running and jumping, dodging the paintball goes right back to your childhood. And the competition of trying to make the points to win the overall thing is a rush.” So, while getting “marked” by a paintball might sting a little, the sensation is similar to getting snapped by a rubber band and will usually go away in a couple seconds.
Right here at our field. Don’t risk your safety by playing at unlicensed, uninsured, and improperly zoned areas. Outlaw fields can be dangerous and possibly illegal. Always play safe no matter where you play. We also do remote set-ups. We are able to bring one of our inflatable playing fields to you, call us (904-645-7127) for details. Private and semi-private games are available, just call us for details. Paintball Adventures is open every Saturday and Sunday from 9am until 5pm. We are also open on holidays and for special events. Weekdays that we are closed are available by reservation.
You may sign-up individually or as a group. We do, however, require reservations to secure your equipment.
A paintball is a round, thin-skinned gelatin capsule with colored liquid inside it. Paintballs are similar to large round vitamin capsules or bath oil beads. The fill inside paintballs is non-toxic, non-caustic, water-soluble and biodegradable. It rinses out of clothing and off skin with mild soap and water and they are even edible, although we don’t recommend it!
Yes. You may bring food and beverages. Alcoholic beverages or drugs are not permitted.
Many people wear camouflage or hunting clothing. Dark, loose fitting pants and a long-sleeve plaid shirt is a good alternative to camouflage. Layering with a sweatshirt will also give some extra padding. Hiking boots, combat boots, or athletic shoes are choices for footwear. No tank tops, shorts, or open toe shoes are recommended OR allowed.
We supply all the equipment needed to play the game and various packages are available. We are “field paint only.” This means only the paint sold directly to you by Paintball Adventures may be used at our field. This rule is safety driven. Our paint is very reasonably priced and various grades are available.
You may bring your own equipment, but we will inspect your equipment to make sure it meets our safety standards.
