HOW TO PLAY SPEEDBALL
Speedball is a Paintball variant that involves inflatable bunkers in a grass or turf field. The bunkers are placed in different configurations to challenge the players, requiring team communication, speed, and agile movements. Speedball is a sport played in teams of three, five, seven, or ten. The points system depends on whether you’re playing the NPPL’s opposing flag format or the Race2 format.
A Speedball Field is set up on a flat surface with inflatable bunkers equally aligned for both teams. This ensures players’ safety and fair conditions for the teams involved. Recreational fields are usually smaller than professional speedball tournament fields. However, the smaller the area, the more agility, and speed you’ll need to succeed!
