PAINTBALL
Below are some common questions about our paintball activities.
What is paintball?
Paintball is an action-packed sport where players compete to tag opponents using paintball markers that shoot biodegradable, water-based paintballs. It’s fast-paced, strategic, and a great way to get outside and have fun.
Is paintball safe?
Yes! Paintball is statistically safer than many popular sports, as long as safety rules are followed. All players are required to wear protective masks, and our referees enforce strict safety guidelines at all times.
Does it hurt to get shot with a paintball?
Most hits feel like a quick snap from a rubber band. Wearing long sleeves and pants can help reduce the sting. For younger players or first-timers, we offer low-impact paintball with smaller, gentler paintballs.
What's the minimum age to play?
Players must be at least 10 years old for standard paintball. For low-impact paintball, players as young as 8 can join in with adult supervision.
Do I need a reservation to play?
Walk-ins are welcome for public play, but we highly recommend making a reservation to guarantee your spot, especially for groups or private games.
Can I bring my own paintballs?
No. Summerlin Paintball is a field-paint-only facility. All paintballs must be purchased on-site to ensure safety and equipment performance.
Can I bring my own paintball gun?
Yes, you can bring your own paintball marker. All markers must pass a chronograph test and shoot at or below our field’s safety limit (typically 280 FPS). No full-auto markers allowed.
Do you rent equipment?
Yes. We offer complete rental packages including marker, mask, air tank, and hopper. Optional upgrades and extra gear are also available.
How long does each paintball game last?
Games usually last between 10–20 minutes, depending on the format and number of players. Most players spend 2–4 hours at the field.
What should I wear?
Wear comfortable, loose-fitting clothes you don’t mind getting dirty—long sleeves and pants are recommended. Old sneakers or boots work best. We also rent chest protectors for extra comfort.
Do paintballs stain clothing?
No. Paintballs are water-based and non-toxic, and will wash out of clothing in a standard laundry cycle. We still recommend wearing older clothes.
Do I have to fill out a waiver?
Yes, all players must sign a waiver before playing. Minors need a waiver signed by a parent or legal guardian.
Do you offer private games or parties?
Absolutely! Private games for birthdays, bachelor parties, corporate events, and more are available by reservation. Contact us for packages and availability.
Can I play alone or do I need a group?
Solo players are welcome. We’ll match you up with other walk-ons for team play.
How many paintballs do I need?
Most players shoot between 500–1000 paintballs over a 2–3 hour session. Paintballs are sold by the bag and case at the pro shop.
