How Does Open Play Work at Champion Valley? (Paintball & Airsoft Guide)

June 8, 2026 | By Maxine Denis

We offer two types of open play at Champion Valley:

  • Regular Impact Paintball Open Play – Saturdays (during the season) from 10:00 AM – 6:00 PM or sunset, whichever comes first

  • Airsoft Open Play – Sundays (during the season) from 11:00 AM – 5:00 PM

Open play is great for players 12+. There’s no maximum group size, but if you’re bringing more than 8 people, you’ll usually have a better experience booking a private reservation.

Booking & Arrival

You can book ahead of time to save $5 on admission, or you can just show up and we’ll get you started.

When you arrive:

  1. Sign your waiver (if you haven’t already).

  2. Get your rental equipment if needed.

  3. Join the open play group.

Open play groups can range anywhere from 4 to 40 players, depending on the day.

You’ll receive a safety briefing from the referee, and then you’ll jump into the next round. Games rotate about every 25 minutes, so there are no fixed start times. If you arrive mid-round, you might wait a few minutes before heading out.

 

What Happens on the Field?

Our referees split teams by skill level, so it’s not pros versus first-timers. We’re intentional about making the experience welcoming, especially for new players.

One thing that sets Champion Valley apart is how friendly our community is. We have plenty of regulars who are more than happy to nerd out with you, share tips, and help you level up.

 

How Long Can You Stay?

Your admission covers all-day play.

Stay for an hour. Stay all day. Totally up to you.

The only thing you may need to purchase as you go is additional ammo.

 

Open play is a great way to:

  • Try paintball or airsoft without committing to a private event

  • Improve your skills

  • Meet new people

  • Or just spend your Saturday or Sunday doing something way more interesting than sitting on the couch

If you’re curious but not sure, open play is the perfect place to start.
