Xtrem Paintball Lebanon is the first of its kind since September 2002. It has already gathered more then 25,000 players from all ages (10 to 50 years old) and from different social backgrounds and regions.
Paintball is a fairly recent sport, but easily one of the fastest-growing in the world. It began in the early 1970s in the USA Today paintball has over four million registered players in the US alone. There are paintball teams, associations and fields around the world including Canada, England, Australia, France and Germany.
In the years since it began, paintball and its equipment have grown considerably more sophisticated. Safety gear has evolved to new standards. International associations have developed official tournament and game rules, as well as codes of conduct.
Paintball is most commonly played in teams. Games run anywhere from a few minutes to 48-hour marathons, with camp-outs. Games themselves are usually quite simple: capture the flag (either a single flag two or more teams fight for, or each team has its own flag the other side tries to grab), elimination (a knockout game where all
members of the other side must be eliminated), timed (winner is the team with the most players remaining). Individual-oriented games are usually simple elimination games (the last player left wins,) or may involve a point system for hits. A hit means the actual paintball strikes a player and breaks. Hits anywhere on the body or on the player's gun count, and the hit player is immediately out of the game. He or she must leave the field to a designated safe or neutral area. The paint is water-soluble and washes out of clothing and hair easily. for more information about games and rules please check our games section
The paintball is a .68
caliber, gelatin-coated ball filled with vegetable oil paint, and
usually travel at speeds of 250-300 feet per second (200 MPH). Players are required to wear safety gear to protect their face. Customers get full face gear that covers eyes, ears, nose and mouth. Players at Capture the Flag are also provided with protective camouflage coveralls, which not only makes the players harder to spot, but also absorbs some of the impact and most of the paint. No player is allowed onto the playing field - even onto the firing range - at any time without a proper mask.
