Hillcrest Paintball LLC > What is Paintball?

Welcome to the sport of paintball.

The basic two-team game is capture the flag. The objective is to capture a flag from the opposing team and return with it to your own flag station. The game involves no physical contact whatsoever. Instead, each player is armed with a special air rifle (marker) designed to fire harmless paint pellets (paintballs), which mark their target on impact. In this way players “eliminate” opposing team members.

The game not only gives players a chance to test their individual skills of stealth and tactics, it also stresses teamwork, planning and good-humored competition. An ever-increasing number of companies, large and small, are discovering and maximizing the potential of paintball, both for its unique entertainment value and for its application as a tool for team development.
