Kids MUST Be 10 Years or Older To Play Paintball
1: What is paintball?
A: Paintball is a sport in which players compete; in teams or individually, to eliminate opponents by tagging them with capsules containing water soluble dye and gelatine shell outside propelled from a device called a paintball marker (commonly referred to as a paintball gun). Paintballs are composed of a non-toxic, biodegradable, water-soluble . The game is regularly played at a sporting level with organised competition involving major tournaments, professional teams, and players.
2. Is Paintball safe?
A: Statistics shows that paintball is one of the safest sports around. Like all action sports though, following the safety rules is mandatory. Full-face masks must be worn all times when entering the field. At our field, safety is our #1 concern. All players are provided with the latest safety gear and are given full instructions on safety regulations and game rules. Referees who strictly enforce the rules and keep the play safe supervise all games.
3: Does getting shot with paintball hurt?
A: No. Well, maybe just a little. A paintball is actually made in the same machine that makes bath oil beads, or Advil caplets - so it's a relatively soft shell filled with vegetable oil and food colouring. Shot from a paintball marker at 280 feet per second, when hit, it will sting for a second - about like getting snapped with a towel, or with a rubber band. But with the adrenaline, and excitement, you may not even feel the hit. That why we have refs to help determine if you are "clean" or "out". And depending where you get hit, it can leave a little mark which will go away in a day or so, and by simply wearing the proper clothing, you can minimise or eliminate this.
4. How old do you have to be to play paintball?
A: The minimum age for playing paintball at Georgina Paintball is 10 years old. All participants under the age of 18 must have parental or guardian consent. You can also have the waiver form signed at home by downloading it off our website and bringing it in with you. You can sign waiver online by clicking fill out waiver button on the top of the page.

A: Yes. If you are looking to play indoors in city of Toronto of the city we have Paintball City and Sgt Splatters Paintball. Our sister fields have been open for 20 years, and is Toronto's most successful paintball field.
8. What extra things should I bring with me?
A: We suggest you to wear comfortable clothing. Our rental package includes coveralls. So, you don’t need to worry about your clothes getting dirty. As a complimentary, we provide gloves too. You can wear an old pair of shoes because it is a paintball game. You wouldn’t want your new shoes to be dirty.
9: How many paintballs will I use?
A: Here's the best analogy we've found.... "How long will a glass of wine last?"
It really depends on the person!
I've seen people have 100 paintballs last for a few hours, and I've seen people go through 100 in less than 15 minutes. It all depends how aggressive, and more over, how wasteful people are. I'll see people repeatedly shooting a bunker, just to watch the paintballs explode. So obviously, if you squeeze the trigger as fast as possible, you can burn through 100 pretty quick. But if you wait, and shoot at people, and not just walls, floors, bunkers, then they can last a lot longer. The over all average in our field is about 250 to 300 paintballs per person, and the average person is here for about 2 1/2 to 3 hours. So about 100 an hour is the average.
10: Can I bring my own paintballs?
A: No. This is a field paint only (FPO) facility. Any players found to be using off-field paint will be ask to leave from the field. No exceptions. The bottom line is that if you are having a good time in the field you are playing on, and then you should think of it as a necessary expense that you will just have to live with. The owner has spent hours of his creative energies and money towards creating some great fields that gives the player an action filled day. If you stop and think about it, they do not allow you to bring your own steak into the restaurant and charge a Meat Fee, or your own popcorn into the movie theatre, or your own beer to a bar. To assure a quality product, and a safe environment for all, you must use our paint.
