Can I play by myself?
Absolutely. We divide teams based on skill levels so we have balanced teams. Airsoft players are very friendly and welcoming and you will find yourself working with a team even if you come by yourself or with a small group of friends.
First Time Player what can I expect?
We are generally very busy on weekends and suggest reservations or coming well before the block you want to play. Once you come in the facility you will walk through the Red Room to Rentals/Checkin. If you have your own gear you will check in at Check In after putting your gear in the Red Room in a open cubby.
If you need rental you will go to the rental area where you will be assisted with your rental choices. From check in, you proceed to the Red Room where you will watch a 4 minute safety video about the rules and regulations of the facility.
Once you are briefed and the field red light is off, you may chrono your weapon and then proceed to the admin bridge on the field where the admin will assign you to a team and explain the rules of the next game.
