OPEN/WALK ON PLAY

Open Play or Walk-On’s are like “pick up” games of paintball. The group is a mixture of all ages & is comprised of all players who show up to play without a reservation. We have two types of Open Play groups: Beginners Only group (mostly younger players & Full Auto is not allowed), as well as an Experienced Player group that is for the more seasoned player. Teams are split evenly by our experienced referees before the games begin.

WE'RE COMING TO PLAY! NOW WHAT?

We recommend our guests fill out the waivers on our website, prior to arrival at the field. This will save time on registration & allow everyone to play more quickly.

Our friendly & knowledgeable staff will get you checked-in & registered. Then, your assigned Referee will take you to your Pavilion, where you will get outfitted with your rental equipment & Safety Protocol. After these steps, you will be ready to play on our fields. Your Ref will direct you to the next available open game where all the action begins!

3. WHAT DO I NEED TO BRING WITH ME?

Players should wear old, comfortable clothing (ex: sweat pants & shirts, overalls, denim, etc,) & may also want to bring a change of clothes for the conclusion of the game day. The most suitable footwear would be a light boot, but old running shoes are most commonly worn. Closed toe shoes are required. *Cleats are NOT allowed.

4. WHAT EXTRA ITEMS SHOULD I BRING?

During the summer months, always carry bug spray & sunscreen. Application of bug spray should be done before you play & will keep the pests off you while on our many courses (avoid using bug spray near your goggles). In the winter, lip-balm & good, warm gloves are a must. Remember, we are outdoors, so dress for it.

The games go ahead regardless, in all weather conditions – except hazardous weather. All field areas are outdoors, but we have covered Pavilions to keep personal items dry. We also offer lockers in our Pro Shop that can be rented to keep valuables safe (and dry).

ARE FOOD & DRINK AVAILABLE?

Yes. We do have a small selection of chips, snacks & drinks for sale in our Pro Shop. However, we encourage you to bring your own refreshments to have for the duration of your time playing, especially if you suffer from low blood sugar, diabetes, etc.
