Woodsball Paintball is a form of paintball played in forests or other wooded areas. Due to this setting, stealth and camouflage are highly important.

Woodsball is the name given to any variety of paintball not played on a professional field; most often it is played in a wooded area.

The goal of traditional woodsball is to defeat the opposing team/player by shooting them. In capture the flag scenarios, team members must retrieve the opposing team's flag and return it to their own flag.

First, the playing area boundaries have to be established, along with a dead zone used for staging. Next, the game objectives have to be determined. There are several types of games. In a traditional woodsball game, teams try to eliminate opposing team members by shooting them with paintball guns. Another scenario is capture the flag or center flag. In these types of games, the team's objective is to retrieve a flag. If a player is hit, but is not sure, that player must call a "paint check" and the closest player will inspect for paint. Once a player is eliminated, he must exit the playing area immediately with arms raised over the head.

Protective Mask

Paintball gun speeds should be kept lower than 300 fps (feet per second). A protective mask should always be worn; however, if masks are not used, then barrel plugs should be used. It is also customary to allow for surrenders when two players are within twenty feet of each other.

Woodsball is the easiest variety of paintball to play with no training necessary. Players should take care to learn how to properly operate the paintball gun.
