UK Paintball Sports Federation
Welcome to the UK Paintball Sports Federation - The UK's governing body for paintball.
What Is Paintball?
Paintball is an action-packed, adrenaline-fuelled sport that combines strategy, teamwork, and excitement. Players are equipped with markers (paintball guns) that shoot small paint-filled capsules, aiming to ‘tag’ opponents and complete objectives on the field. Paintball can be played in a variety of formats, from fast-paced elimination games to scenario-based missions, offering something for everyone, whether you’re a casual player or a competitive enthusiast.
