Q - What is Paintball?
A - Paintball is an action oriented sport in which two opposing teams compete to eliminate opponents by marking them with a paintball while trying to achieve a common goal such as capturing a flag, etc.

Q - What is capture the flag?
A - Capture the flag is the most common scenario used to play paintball. In this scenario there are two teams that each possess a flag. The goal is to capture your opponent’s flag and return it to your flag station. Players may only touch an opponent’s flag in this game. Players may not touch or move their own team’s flag. We also offer other variations of capture the flag to change things up.

Q - How old do I have to be to play paintball at OP?
A - Players must be a minimum of 10 years old to play paintball at OP. Players under 18 are required to have a parent’s signature on our waiver form.

Q - What else do I need?
A - Operation Paintball can set you and your group up with goggles that cover your face and ears, semi-auto markers (guns), the air (power source) in the basic rental. Also pod packs that can carry extra ammo onto the field, padded chest vest to take the bite out of a hit for new or sensitive players for a small additional charge.
Players should dress for the weather OP is outside and you will get dirty. The paint does washout, but mud and grass stains could ruin your cloths. For new, young, or timid players who have heard paintball hurts an extra layer (hoodie, sweat pants, ect...) is suggested this will give them the protection they need to feel safe and people often shed layers as they become more comfortable with the game.
