Paintball is a great social game to play with friends and family. Getting everyone together last minute is nearly impossible, though. If you want to play paintball with specific people, you have to plan ahead of time. This way, everyone invited can mark the event on their calendars and make sure they don’t have other plans. Organizing an event involves a lot of planning. There are a lot of responsibilities to take care of before you can play. Let AC Paintball in southern New Jersey help. Follow these steps, and contact AC Paintball if you have any questions.

Pick a Location

The first step after deciding to host a paintball event, it to decide where you should play. Think about where all of your guests live and try to choose a local place. If your party lives near southern New Jersey, AC Paintball is a convenient location. They also have a variety of outdoor fields to choose from. A convenient location will increase the likelihood of your guests being able to attend.

Pick a Field

When choosing an AC Paintball field, you will want to think about what field is best for the games you wish to play. Wooded fields work well for capture-the-flag games. Speedball fields are good for strategic games. You will also want to take your party size into account. If you have a large party, choose a large field like AC Paintball’s Blue Thunder Woods Field. If you have a small party, you may want to choose a smaller field such as the Hyperball Field.

Invite Players

The people you invite to your event can determine how much fun you have. Try to invite people you enjoy being around. Having a group that gets along well together will help make your event a success. It is also a good idea to use a spreadsheet to keep everybody organized. This will help you keep track of when people are available and whether they have paid yet.

You may also want to think about creating teams at this point. Do you want to rearrange teams throughout the day or have a tournament with the same teams? If you really want to get into the team spirit, you can discuss team names, uniforms, etc.

Pick a Package

After you know how many players are coming, you will want to look into the packages. AC Paintball has two main group packages, the Morning Party or the Afternoon Party. You should ask your guests if they have better availability before or after noon. If most are available before noon, you should go with the morning 9am – 12noon package. If more are available in the afternoon, the afternoon 12noon – 4pm package would work best. With AC Paintball’s group packages, one organizer or celebrant also plays for free.

Make a Reservation

Once you know when most of your party is available, you can pick a day and make a reservation. Be sure to check the weather in southern New Jersey before scheduling. If you pick a stormy day, you will likely end up rescheduling. Then you will have to check when everyone is available again.  If you need to cancel, be sure to give AC Paintball written notice 24 hours before your appointment. You can schedule a game here: https://acpaintball.com/schedule-paintball-game/.

Prepare for the Event

Finally, you can plan all the last minute details that will make for a fun event. You can gather extra props, plan refreshments, or create prizes.  Adding small details will help make your event memorable. If you want to be extra helpful, check in with your guests and make sure they have all the gear and supplies they need. You may help them remember to pack an item they almost forgot. After you make sure everyone is set, enjoy your hard work. Have fun playing with your friends at AC Paintball.
