We want to make sure that this sport is safe for all who play. Participants have to wear protective clothing, such as a camouflage shirt, because sometimes if you get a direct hit, it may sting a little. This also helps protect their clothes. This is a team sport, where team members must communicate in order to win. We have had twelve year old girls, and over seventy year old grandmas playing.
Kids can play with adults, men against women, and old against young.
We do , however, recommend the players be at least twelve years of age, so they can properly work their equipment and follow the rules. The balls are nontoxic, water soluble, biodegradable, and even edible. Paintball Competitors are getting ready to splat paint at their opponents at the recent Colome Cowboy Fair, where Chad and Melissa made barricades and set them up at the football field. The field on the Lonnie Fletcher farm has a great deal more cover, but participants still got a feel for what the game was like.
