Paintball is fun. There are lots of things in life that are rewarding, but if they happen to be fun while being rewarding, then they become an activity you simply can't live without.

Adventure and Adrenaline
When one plays paintball one becomes enthralled in the adrenaline and adventure it provides. Running through the woods, hiding behind inflatable bunkers, shooting opponents and getting shot just doesn't get old.

Teamwork and Strategy
Working with a team to devise and implement a strategy that leads to victory is nothing short of amazing. In paintball, you quickly learn that success comes by working together and that the best strategy in the world will fail if everyone isn't on the same page. Hannibal Smith probably said it best, " I love it when a plan comes together," and he probably first said it while playing paintball.

Variety
With paintball, you can always change it up. If you want to play in the woods, you can. If you want to play in a warehouse, you can. If you want to play capture the flag or some new game type or even invent your own, you can. I like paintball because no matter how long I've been playing, it doesn't get old or boring.

Exercise
Paintball is an active sport. While there are periods of sitting, hiding and waiting, there are lots of times to run, sprint, jump and move. It's a great way to get your heart rate up.

Competition is fun. As long as you're a good sport, it can be a great thing. Play, play hard, and try to win. In paintball, you can have a good, competitive game and enjoy every minute of it.
