NEW! Low Impact 50 Cal Paintball Parties

To put it in perspective:

Traditional Paintball: 68 caliber paintball size, 3.5 gram weight, 300 FPS – perfect for regular players who seek the best performance, and don’t mind the sting from being hit. Designed for experienced and competitive players. This is the type you have seen on TV or movies.

PeeWee: The “Nerf” or “T-ball” equivalent to Paintball. Air Powered, 50 caliber paintball size, 1.2 gram weight, 110 FPS. Recommended for ages 8 to 12.

Low Impact: 50 caliber paintball size, 2.2 gram weight, 220 FPS – our new favorite way of playing paintball. These paintballs hurt far less (but will leave a small welt, closer to a pinch than a “bee sting” of paintball), weigh less and are much easier to carry and operate. No tired arms, no paintball stings – it’s the perfect paintball experience for those who want to play paintball, but not get hurt. Try it today!

A private party is a reservation of a “Safety Zone”, or Player Area. This netted area is where players have tables and benches for their own use (no other groups permitted, hence private), and where the majority of the party time is spent (if not on the fields). Player’s bags will be here and this is where players go in between games. A typical paintball match takes about 8-10 minutes, and once you are hit you go back to your safe zone to await the next game.

On the day of play, gather all the players at the Crusader Paintball Pro Shop, where we collect waivers then distribute equipment. Players must be then driven by parents to the playing fields, located behind our facility, and then are escorted by their referee to their Player’s Area. After a safety briefing and instructions on how to play are given, players are taken to one field after another (alternating fields every game for variety) After the games are done, players typically head back to the Airshed / Picnic Pavilion for after-game pizza or cake. After a quick post-game meal, players return their gear to our Pro Shop! Pretty easy right?

Yes, there is a minimum for private parties of at least 10 players. If you have, say, 8 players, you CAN opt to play, you just need to pay for the first 10 players (please note, we have a 10 person minimum because the games are boring and repetitive when you have less than 10 players!)

We do not offer a Public Walk On play for Low Impact 50 Cal at this time.

Yes, we require all players and spectators have a waiver filled out for their day of play. The waiver must be signed by a parent if the player/spectator is under 18 years old. These waivers are available here on the site (look at the red bar at the top) or can be filled out in person.

You can make a private party reservation by calling our Pro Shop at 215-949-4600. Please be advised that we require a 50% non-refundable deposit when you want to book your time slot, so have a credit card ready. This means that just calling and talking to a store associate about a party does NOT guarantee your party.

The party packages include everything you need to play. That being said, the party package doesn’t include things like a camo jumpsuit, a chest protector, anti-fog masks, paint grenades, etc. All of these items (and more) can be purchased/rented on the day of.

Well, first and foremost – spare clothing, and trashbags. The spare clothing to change into, and the trashbags for the dirty clothing! A common question is- “Will my son come back covered in paint?” The answer is no, you probably got more paint on you the last time you painted your living room. But, you are outsides running around diving, crawling, rolling around in the woods… so you do get muddy.

Bringing in outside food and drink is permitted, or you can purchase food and drink from our snackshed. There is also a great pizza place right next door that delivers to our location almost daily… we’ll be happy to give you their phone number!

Nope! As a family-friendly facility, we pride ourselves in being the ‘daycare for adults’. The management staff/family here will be more than happy to take your kids off your hands for a few hours… perfect for those random school holidays where you have nothing else to do.

Your referee is the person who prepared your rental equipment, signed it all out, will be with you from the minute you arrive until you leave, and is the person who cleans all the equipment afterwards. While a tip certainly isn’t expected, it’s always greatly appreciated. The ‘normal amount’ for a tip is about $20-40 (think about it – that ref might have 50 masks, guns, hoppers and tanks to clean!).

No, you cannot bring your 68 caliber to 50 cal games, mostly because the 68 caliber markers have an unfair advantage in range and firepower. Smaller caliber and assorted guns conversely may not play in 68 caliber games; you’ll be slaughtered to be blunt about it. It isn’t safe for you, and we don’t want to put other players in an unsafe situation as well.

While we do offer a public, covered picnic pavilion for your use and we have a snackshed on site, private parties do not include food or cake. You are welcome to bring and enjoy pizza/cake for after-game festivities. In fact, the pizza place right next door delivers to our fields almost daily! Please be advised that we do NOT have coolers available on site for food or drink storage.

Like we mentioned, we are party experts here at Crusader. We know you want to have pizza and cake as part of the party, so let’s help you out – have the pizza after you play in our picnic pavilion when the weather is nice (no indoor option at the moment). There is a pizza place located right next door to us that delivers to our fields almost daily, and yes we have their menu and phone number in our store. When you want to order pizza just notify your referee.
