A $75 deposit is required to hold your reservation. This can be paid in cash if the reservation is made at our location, or via credit card. The deposit is returned if the reservation is cancelled more than 72 hours prior to the scheduled reservation time. Otherwise the $75 is applied to the final reservation price, or is forfeited in the case of a "no-show." "No-show" includes total failure to come during the reserved time, cancellation less than 72 hours before the reserved time, and bringing fewer than the minimum number of players required at the reserved time and being unwilling to pay for the minimum number. It is acceptable to bring fewer than the minimum number of players if you still pay for the minimum number.
We do cakes too! If you want a cake for your birthday or other party, make sure you ask when you set up a reservation. You can get a custom cake that feeds up to 16, with plates and utensils, for $30. A cake to feed up to 40 is $40. Of course you can still bring your own cake too. Drinks are not included in the price but are available.

Adult Waiver

Minor Waiver

FPS Paintball requires players to have a general waiver on file before stepping on the field. Players can save time at the field by printing this form out, signing and having it ready to go. Visitors wishing to survey the course must also sign the waiver. Players and visitors under the age of 19 must have a parent's signature.

Snack Bar
After a hard round of fragging your friends (or anyone else, for that matter) you're bound to get thirsty. FPS is right there with plenty of drinks, plus some great snacks. And unlike the movie theater, we're not going to charge an arm and a leg.

Pro Shop
FPS Paintball maintains a Pro Shop, so you can buy the gear you play with on the course, or we can special order almost anything you can think of for the paintball field. If you don't see what you're looking for, ask about it!

Did we miss something?
No worries. Send us an e-mail anytime, or give us a call at (256) 864-2670. We'll see you on the course!

Prices do not include sales tax.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • How old do you have to be to play?
    10 years or older.
  • Do I have to sign a waiver?
    Yes, everyone has to sign a waiver every time they play. Anyone under 19 must have a parent or guardian sign their waiver.
  • Can I use my own gun?
    Yes, but it will have to be clean for use with reballs, we will have to be able to chrono it at an acceptable speed, and it must run on HPA (compressed air) not CO2.
  • Do I need a barrel sock?
    Yes, a barrel plug is no longer acceptable.
  • What is reball?
    Reballs are reusable paintballs. They are the same size as regular paintballs and feel the same when they hit. Learn more at www.reball.us.
  • Can I still use paint on the field?
    No, the facility is reball only, and we do not allow any paint on the premises.
  • Do reballs hurt more than regular paintballs?
    No, they are the same size and weigh slightly less, plus we chrono the guns at a slower speed than we do for regular paint.
  • Do you fill CO2 tanks?
    No, we do not use CO2 and don't have any at the facility.
  • Do you fill compressed air (HPA) tanks?
    Yes, we do fills to 3000 psi. Come in during open play to get a tank filled.
  • Can I bring my own food or drinks?
    Yes, just no alcoholic drinks.
  • Can I bring fewer than 10 people to a reservation?
    Yes, as long as you pay for 10 people.
