Have you ever thought that paintball would be great to play as a hobby or sport?
Ever wondered if you'd be able to play more than once a year for someone's birthday or do you always struggle to get your mates to join you for a day out playing paintball? Well you'll be pleased to know, Mayhem has a Players club that could be exactly what you're looking for!
Before we go any further there's one rumour we need to address, the people that play regularly aren't 'professionals' and in some cases, some of them are just as new as you are, the only difference is they may have bought a shed load of new kit!
It's super important to remember that whilst there may be more paint flying around, no one will use you as target practice! You won't be 'destroyed' by anyone, in fact, you're probably likely to get shot a bit less then when you play on one of our rental games! Our regular events are super friendly and full of helpful people who'll do everything they can to make sure you have a good time, and will happily help you out if needed. We all want to get more people playing paintball and enjoying themselves.
Mayhem has been open since 1987 so we like to think we know a thing or two about paintball. We have something for everyone and aim to be your one stop shop to scratch that paintball itch! We know from many years of personal experience paintball is fun, and should stay that way. Whilst there are competitions for some of the more seasoned players, we can't advise strongly enough spending time getting comfortable being shot at before committing time to training and spending your weekends running drills (there's plenty of time for that later)
Soo. . . . You've played paintball a few times and think you have the 'bug' what’s next?
You've watched a few YouTube videos and decided that you'll be playing for Russian Leigon by next year.....
Where do you start? With a decent pair of goggles. Every. Single. Time! Paintballs travel at a speed capable of doing some serious damage if they were to make contact with your eyes, or anywhere on your face for that matter. A decent pair of goggles are a must! We'll lend you a pair of goggles if ever you're playing one of our events but if you're looking to part with your cold hard cash and want a place to start, googles, first time, every time.
Once you've decided you want to play paintball as a hobby, great! We have a few different options for you to get stuck into.

Magfed:
Magfed paintball is a more tactical style of play. Geared towards less shots, but making sure they count. Magfed paintball comes from 'magazine fed' meaning individual paintballs are loaded into magazines as opposed to hoppers. On average, players will carry 4-6 mags of around 20 shots in each.
