What should I wear for paintball?
We recommend long sleeve shirts, and jeans or work pants. Durable and comfortable shoes or boots, a baseball hat or beanie, and tight fitting gloves (like mechanic gloves). Pick clothes you don’t mind getting dirty like work clothes. Be careful not to dress to warm or overdress. Paintball is an energetic activity and overheating can be a concern.
Can someone else sign the waiver for my child ?
No , all children must have a waiver signed by their parent or legalguardian. Please insure you download the waiver and sign in advance if you are not going to accompany your child.
How long does 500 paintballs last?

Yes, children under 10 can have a waiver by their parent or guardian and remain in the main staging area where they can view the tournament fields.

Young children could easily gain access to someone’s unattended equipment and become a danger to themselves and others.

How safe is it?
statistically, paintball has a lower injury rate per participant than nearly all other “athletic” sports or activities. However there is an inherent risk. If you are uncomfortable we suggest you familiarize yourself with the facts about the sport and its risks, and decide whether paintball is right for you. Blitz Paintball gives players a safety briefing. We are very strict on enforcing the rules, and we have refs stationed throughout the play areas to help insure safe play. But be advised this does not eliminate the inherent risk.
