We're very excited to start up our third year of Youth Paintball in Arkansas!
​​
Our first year was focused on four recreational group events and giving away over $5,000 worth of gear. Our second year was focused on tournament paintball. This year we finally have the resources to support young players in Arkansas with the opportunity to experience competitive paintball at a very affordable price. We have everything you need to play. We want to bring more family and parent involvement into our paintball weekends so we've restructured our days into the following format:
​
Hornets Tournament Paintball
​
Preparatory Team:
This team is for new players or players who don't have their own gear yet. Players will borrow and share with other players a tournament level set up. Paintball guns will shoot at a slower rate to reduce cost and enable more time to work on fundamentals until ready for higher level of play. Coaches will work with players DURING play to help reinforce rules and techniques. Parents are encouraged to participate in sideline coaching to learn the sport as well.
​
Hornets Paintball Team:
NXL ramping and rules - Focused dedicated practice for our serious tournament players on the Hornets team with Coach Andrew on the speedball field. This is reserved for players active memberships with AYP and who have met the minimum criteria to play a higher skill level of paintball. Sideline coaching IS NOT allowed for this level of play.
​
​
Registration is required if you want your child to join us. Please go to the Competition Team page to register.
​
AYP is a non-profit registered in Arkansas and is not the same as Action Town Park. We will happily answer what questions we can but all field and rental gear specific questions should be directed towards www.actiontownpark.com
