Every week at Delta Force Paintball, thousands of customers turn up to play paintball in all manner of clothing and costumes, from sensible to silly! Our staff never passes judgment on any customer’s sense of fashion, that’s not our place! We just want our customers to be as comfortable as possible to give them the perfect day of paintball.

It’s been a sunny week for Delta Force Paintball in Crawley this week; it even reached 27 degrees in our base camp!

We had almost 300 players come down to the centre on Saturday and a good time was had by all. Amongst this lot was a birthday group of twenty three eleven year olds who all had a brilliant day and all said it was the best day ever! After braving through the hot day, Alex and his friends made it to lunch and tucked into an enormous chocolate cake!

Despite what you may think, paintball is actually a very safe sport in comparison to other sports. In fact, you are 19 times more likely to suffer a serious injury playing football than you are playing paintball. Injuries do still happen though playing paintball, which is a shame as the vast majority of them are preventable. In this article I will try to outline the steps you should take to further reduce the risk of you being injured playing paintball.

Like any competitive sport, paintball is played to win. Only, paintball is different from most competitive sports in that the losing team tend to get shot with paintballs! In this entry I'll try to outline some basic tactics you can employ that will hopefully help you and your team acheive victory.

One of the most useful skills to master when you’re playing paintball is being able to shoot accurately, so in this short blog post I will outline a number of exercises you can perform to increase your shooting accuracy.

Now to perform the first exercise you will need a paintball gun, or something similar to fire at targets. You will also need 5 cones and one large target, you could use an old bin or something similar.

Scenario paintball is an area of paintball that is growing at a very fast rate. A scenario paintball game is described as a paintball game that is played with another theme to it aside from just paintballing. Usually these themes will either be specific events that have happened or they may be based around movies.

Paintball is growing rapidly amongst all age groups, and for that reason we are seeing increasing amounts of parents and kids asking us to host paintball parties. I can remember one of the most exciting parts of organising a party when you were a kid, was going around at school (or your workplace if you are a big kid) and handing out the party invitations to build the excitement. The impact is much greater if your invitation is well designed, which is hard if you are not a graphic designer.
