MWR Athletics will supply only ProBall paintballs, and individuals will not be allowed to use their own paintballs. Games will be played on the new course, located in the woods at Retelle Park on Naval Station Annapolis. MWR will provide referees to supervise games at no additional cost, or teams can provide their own referees. All participants will be required to wear face masks and goggles. Although the paint washes out of clothing, participants will also want to wear older clothing.
Paintball is an excellent way of developing teamwork, communications, leadership and initiative.
It also is a fun way to relieve stress from work or school, and it delivers an incredible adrenaline rush for thrill-seekers. There are several heart-pounding games that can be played on the course. No experience is necessary to play. Games can be as quick as five minutes or as long as 20 minutes, depending on how long it takes to complete the objective of disposing of the enemy. Dan Fitzgerald, MWR Athletics Director, is confident about the new paintball program.
