If you are looking for a competitive team sport, then you will be hard pressed to find one more competitive than extreme paintball. Participants are broken into teams and put on a paintball field to act out combat scenarios and eliminate their opponents in order to win the game. Paintball is now being played in over 40 countries world wide and gaining more popularity at a very quick pace. Whether you are new to the sport or are a longtime player, paintball has something to offer almost everyone.

Statistically, extreme paintball is one of the safest existing sports. Surprisingly, there are fewer injuries reported in paintball than either golf or bowling. These statistics are rather surprising given the over 10 million participants that play the game. As long as paintball players are using their safety gear, such as goggles or face masks, the amount of injuries are minimal. As with any other sport, paintball should be played responsibly and paintball safety should always be the number one priority. In order to play safely, the rules should always be followed. Remember to always wear safety gear and for the protection of others, never freeze your paintballs. While this is something that does happen, it should be pointed out that it is illegal during field and tournament play.

Extreme paintball is a fast paced, energy driven, deeply competitive sport. It provides a way for paintball players to live out their fantasies of combat scenarios without the actual fear of being severely hurt.
