Paintball 101

If you have never played paintball before or are a first time visitor to The Swamp Fun Park, the below guidance will help you understand the process from getting registered to playing through a game.

Doors open at 9 am.

Come sign in (make sure waiver is already filled out if you have NEVER been here before) at the shops front counter, choose your marker(gun), pay, grab your paint and exit the store (Stage Left :)

You will get all your base rental gear from down at the airshack (the smaller building in front of shop). If you paid for an upgraded marker, you will receive that at the time you pay along with your paint.

You then head for the staging area and set up. The staging area is located by the rear parking lot by the playing fields. It has picnic tables and shelters.

Then you will be greeted by a referee and given a safety/game rules briefing. Everyone must attend a safety/rules briefing before playing.

Once all players are present the Head referee divides the players into two teams. If you have a team preference, such as you want to play on the same team as your child or friend or maybe you want to be on the opposite team, let the Head Ref know and he will accommodate you.

After the teams are picked you will be given a colored arm band to designate what team you are on.

All games are timed and last about 10 minutes. The games are started by a loud horn or by a referee yelling loudly and ended in the same manner. 

We hope you have found this informative, helpful and makes you more comfortable in making the decision to play paintball. Also, The Swamp Fun Park has a very relaxed atmosphere and all the staff and players are very willing to give advice and helpful hints to the beginner. Call, e-mail or come by for more information. Hope to see or hear from you.
