The speedball field is reserved exclusively for current White River Paintball members. Players must have an active membership, complete a safety briefing, and follow all speedball field rules before entering play.

Any unsafe behavior, cheating, or rule violations may result in removal from the field, membership suspension, or permanent loss of membership access.

Speedball can be played in several formats, including 3-on-3, 5-on-5, or larger team formats, depending on attendance. Most standard games will likely be played in smaller team sizes to keep games moving quickly.

White River Paintball takes precautions to ensure all paintball markers are firing at safe speeds and we also have a mandatory 15-foot “surrender” rule. We also use a custom paintball specially formulated for the perfect shell thickness, to ensure the paintball is not too hard.

If you are worried about the pain, we recommend you rent a camoflauge jumpsuit and body armor, which will help reduce paintball impact.
