If you
already know about Paintball, and been a few times, you probably skip this
page.
What is
Paintball?
(Details from this
paragraph were shamelessly pulled from the website at
http://www.scvillage.com)
Paintball is
an exciting version of capture the flag, promoting team work. The game is
played with two opposing teams competing utilizing Co2 Paintball Markers
that propel a non-toxic washable gelatin capsule. When the paintball breaks
on your opponent, he or she is eliminated. The game is won by successfully
returning the opponent's flag to your team's flag station. Now, you don't
have to be a "Rambo" type to have fun. Players come from all walks of life:
lawyers, actors, doctors, truck drivers, waitresses, etc. Paintball is not
just a man's sport. Women can, and do, play equally well. You must be 10
years or older to play. At SC Village (where we are playing at), the games
are played in a park-like atmosphere on themed courses ranging from jungles
with rivers to cityscapes to military camps. All games are controlled by
experienced staff to insure player safety and fair play.
What
should I wear?
As this is a
tactical game, camouflage is preferred (the themed areas vary from tropical
jungle to desert to european forest). You will be climbing over branches,
moving around trees, and along tight brush, so choose clothing that is
durable, but flexible.
STRONGLY
SUGGESTED
Clothing
should fully cover you up, and also be loose to absorb the impact of the
paintballs. Long sleeves, and pant legs are a suggested must. Men of all
ages may wish to wear athletic protection for their sensitive areas. Ankle
Support (hiking boots, hi-top shoes, etc.) is highly recommended due to the
various terrain and the potential trip-ups that might occur. Hats serve to
protect the top of the head from paintball hits, and prevent against
sunburned scalps.
OPTIONAL
CLOTHING
Gloves help
to protect the hands when you are crawling. Kneepads and elbow pads also
help with this. Your own facemask costs around $20, but it' s clean and
doesn't smell like the last 30 people to wear it (eewwww!). Squirt bottle
for mask cleanup and cooling down between rounds (We'll have a few of them
on hand anyway!).
