The XBall Field:

After moving over 150 cubic yards of dirt, placing 25,000 square feet of sod, 60 hydro poles, 600' of 20' tall netting, 6000 zip ties, and 1400' of steel cable, the new XBall field is a DREAM! It is visible from the road; YES, this is what all the hydro poles are being used for! The XBall field, also known as a Speedball or Airball field, is the field catering to the competitive side of paintball. Quite simply, the XBall field was named such for it's flagship 15' tall X, located in the middle of the grass field. Airball fields are simply open grass fields where inflatable bunkers made of canvas are placed (see picture above). The use of the inflatable bunkers allows for the paint to bounce off the bunkers, allow for spectators to see easily the players behind the bunkers, and allows for the layout to be changed weekly (so the players never become bored of one specific layout. The field only measures 160' long by 140' wide. The XBall field is enclosed by 20' netting right around the field. Spectators can literally stand within feet of the players, without the possibility of being hit by the balls! That, together with the fact that speedball players are shooting paint at upwards of 15 balls PER SECOND, watching speedball can be just as exhilirating as playing! The XBall field is not currently available to rental groups, as it requires a lot of setup and cleanup for each use. If you would like to play on the XBall field, practice is held every Sunday, from 1-5pm, except for the Sundays immediately following an SPS tournament. <<- Back to the Fields Page
