What is paintball?

Paintball is an exciting recreational game played year round.


There are many different types of games played including elimination, capture the flag, and attack and defend. The most basic game, “Capture the Flag”, has an obvious objective. Capture the other team’s flag and return it to your team’s home base for the win, while defending your own flag from the other team! 


Each player uses a paintball marker powered by CO2 or compressed air which shoots the paintballs. The paintballs are colorful gelatin capsules filled with a brightly colored, washable liquid. Upon contact, the paintballs split open, leaving a splat of color that marks the player out of the game.  The more opponents that are eliminated, the easier it is to capture the flag.


Most games are less than 10 minutes, so a marked player, while eliminated from the previous game, simply wipes off the splat and jumps into the next new game.


PSI Xtreme Sports offers excellent outdoor fields for your playing enjoyment. From our regulation x-ball field, where you can play like the pros, to the City Field, you will have a great time exploring your paintball abilities!


Who plays paintball?

Paintball is enjoyed by people from all walks of life.  From young children and their parents, to business professionals looking to improve team building in the office, anyone can be a star player, as strategy and teamwork, not size, speed or strength, lead to victory. It is estimated that over ten million people play paintball, and that number continues to grow each and every year. Paintball is one of the fastest growing extreme sports in the world.


Is it safe?

Paintball is very safe in a controlled environment, and is even ranked safer than hobbies like bowling and tennis by many insurance research firms.  It is not a contact sport.


PSI Xtreme Sports is committed to providing safe, enjoyable paintball games for all players. Each player must attend a safety and rules orientation prior to playing. Players are expected to follow the rules at all times.  You can view our safety briefing here.


Doesn't it hurt when you get shot?

The paintball breaks open upon impact, and generally cause very little pain. What pain is experienced is more of a stinging sensation from the impact through clothing. The feeling has been described as being 'popped' with a towel, and it's gone in a matter of seconds. In general, you can count on coming off the field with a few welts from paintball impacts.


What is needed to play? 

PSI Xtreme Sports can supply all the equipment and supplies needed to play paintball. We have insurance rated goggles to keep you safe.  Our markers are serviced weekly to keep them performing for you!  We carry high quality paintballs from different manufacturers to make sure you have the best chances of eliminating your opponent! 


We also sell paint grenades and other tactical gear to give you the winning edge.


What do I need to wear?

We encourage you to wear loose fitting, dark clothing.  You don’t have to wear camouflage fatigues, but if you have a pair, feel free! Comfortable, close-toed footwear is a must. 


We do not recommend shorts and short sleeved shirts, as paintballs making direct skin impact can be more painful. 


Will the paint come out of my clothing?

Paintballs are completely non-toxic and contain water-soluble materials.  They do not stain clothing and wash out easily. Most stains come from grass and dirt, not the colors of paint.
