Don't' fear, this question gets asked of the staff daily. There are a few simple things to do in preparation for your first day of play. The staff at Paintball Adventures recommends the following:

·      Wear durable long sleeve pants and shirt. Something that you don't mind raking through the dirt and    trees. We don't recommend short sleeve shirts or shorts at anytime.

·      If available, wear high top style boots or shoes. We recommend anything that provides superior ankle support.

·      Bring a hat (baseball, booney etc.) or adequate head wear to cover your head. Wearing head cover protects the head as well as aiding in the prevention of goggle fog from perspiration.

·      Bring gloves. Thin leather or garden gloves work well or half finger styles.

·      Your playing a high adrenaline sport, drink plenty of water the night before and during the day to avoid dehydration.

·      Leave anything you consider a valuable at home. The physical nature of the game can cause them to disappear in the filed. This includes necklaces, bracelets and other forms of jewelry.

·       Make every attempt to avoid carrying car keys and wallets onto the field if at all possible.

·      Beyond clothing, PBA has all the essential equipment you'll need to participate. Knifes, tools and other various instruments are not allowed on the playing field so leave them in the car or at home.

Now that we've covered the basics, lets move on. The PBA staff will be your guides throughout the day. Referee's will oversee all the aspects of safety and instruction on how to operate the equipment. After you've registered, you'll be given what is called the " orientation". There you will be given the fields rules of play and general safety guidelines. New players are walked through these procedures before taking to the filed.

Throughout your days play, feel free to ask questions of any of our staff. Their first job is safety but they are there to instruct as well. If your feeling tired or fatigued, don't over do it. Players are not required to participate in every game of the day. Simply take the break you need and join the next game when it starts. The head ref will announce the start of every game in the staging area generally 10 minutes before departing to the field.

Remember, play fair, play smart and have a great time!
