What is the minimum age?

The minimum age to play PAINTBALL at our park is 10 years old. The minimum age to play SPLATMASTER PAINLESS PAINTBALL at our park is 7 years old. Age under 7, we leave it up to the parent/guardian to decide if his/her child is mature enough to play. We request a Waiver and Release of Liability form to be signed by parents/guardians whose children are under 18 years old. Paintball is a very safe sport as long as our simple safety rules are followed. 

Is paintball suitable for children?

Parents need to know about the nature of the activity and decide for themselves whether their particular child is mature enough to participate in paintball. To assist you with this decision, please contact our friendly staff members at (865) 446-2003 for further information. Our knowledgeable staff members will gladly answer any of your questions and provide you with advice that will help when making your decision.

Is paintball a safe sport?

Paintball is one of the safest sports and statistically has the least number of injuries of all sports – which include baseball, bowling, fishing and many other sports. As with any other sport/activity, there is always the potential for injury. As long as standard safety rules are followed and the proper use of industry developed & approved safety equipment is utilized, paintball is one of the safest, participatory sports in the world.

What is open play?

Open Play or Walk-On’s are like “pick up” games of paintball.
The group is a mixture of all ages and is comprised of all players who show up to play without a reservation. 

What do I need to bring with me?

Players should wear old comfortable clothing (ex: military pants, sweat pants and shirts, overalls, denim, etc) and may also want to bring a change of clothes for the conclusion of the game day. We do offer Jump Suits / coveralls for rental. The most suitable footwear would be a light boot but old running shoes are most commonly worn. Metal cleats are NOT allowed. If you don’t have your own, we sell specially made paintball gloves and other gear at the park’s pro-shop. Please keep in mind that we do not allow outside food or drinks on our property; we do sell hot/cold foods and beverages at the park’s concession area.

Will I need to fill out a registration form?

Yes. All players are required to register and fill out a Waiver and Release of Liability form before they begin to play.
