Info

Axpro Paintball was born in Cittanova, in the heart of the Piana di Gioia Tauro, out of the passion of a group of players who turned it into a real field, active since 2021. We're an amateur sports association and we organize team matches designed for first-time players and veterans alike: the goal is always the same, an afternoon of adrenaline, strategy and teamwork, in complete safety.

Ours is a single, purpose-built field, set up with natural obstacles and cover designed for tactical team play. The same terrain for every match, one you get to know better game after game: an environment made for first-timers and regulars alike.

Every session is played in one of these modes, explained by the referee during the initial briefing:

• Capture the Flag: Each team's flag is held at the enemy base: the goal is to capture it from the opposing base and bring it back to your own. A player who's hit is eliminated and cannot re-enter the game. If the flag carrier is hit, they must drop the flag where they are — it can only be picked back up by players from the team that eliminated them.
• Deathmatch: Two teams face off with markers: a player who's hit is eliminated and re-enters the game after a short wait, which varies depending on the number of players on the field.
• Escort the President: One team must escort its own "president" to the enemy base. If an escort member is hit, they're eliminated; if the president is hit, the whole team is eliminated.

The field is open 24 hours a day, by booking only: you choose the best time for your group. Each session lasts about 4 hours in total, one hour for briefing, gearing up and collecting your marker, mask and protective gear, followed by 3 hours of actual play.

Safety comes before the game: protective mask mandatory for the whole match, markers chronograph-tested, and precise rules to follow both on and off the field. The rules are mandatory for every player.

Read the full rules

Welcome to Axpro Paintball! Your safety and enjoyment are our top priorities. Before entering the playing area, you must read, understand and accept the following rules.

The golden, non-negotiable rule

• Mask always on: It is strictly forbidden to remove, lift or move your protective mask inside the playing field for any reason. If your mask fogs up or gets dirty, stay still and call the referee/field assistant. Anyone who removes their mask on the field will be immediately expelled from the facility with no refund.

Access to the field

• Minimum age: Access to the playing field is not allowed for anyone under 14.
• Waiver for minors: For players under 18, a parental waiver form must be filled out.
• Early arrival: Groups are required to arrive 30 minutes before their booked time slot.

Safety outside the field (Safe Zone)

• Barrel sock mandatory: Outside the playing area (in the Safe Zone), every marker must have its safety barrel sock/plug inserted.
• Safety on: The marker's safety switch must stay engaged until entering the field.
• Barrel pointed down: Outside the field, markers must always be pointed towards the ground. It's forbidden to point them at people in the Safe Zone, even if unloaded or with the safety on.
• No firing: It is strictly forbidden to fire or take "test shots" in the Safe Zone. To test a marker, use only the dedicated Chronograph Area.

Rules during the match

• Rate of fire and velocity: Only markers compliant with Italian law are allowed (muzzle energy below 7.5 Joules). All markers are chronograph-tested before play.
• Minimum firing distance: To avoid injuries, firing at an opponent from a distance under 6 meters is forbidden. At close range, loudly call the opponent's "surrender" instead.
• Elimination: You're eliminated if hit anywhere on your body or gear (including the marker itself).
• Calling yourself out: When eliminated, shout clearly "Hit!" or "Out!", raise a hand and head to the exit following the path indicated by the referee. Do not shoot eliminated players.
• No picking up paintballs: It is strictly forbidden to pick up paintballs that fell on the ground. Dirt and debris seriously damage markers and cause jams and/or breakages.

Conduct and prohibitions

• No physical contact: Paintball is a tagging sport, not a contact sport. Any physical confrontation, shoving, or violent verbal or physical behavior is forbidden.
• Respect the structures: Climbing on bunkers, damaging protective netting or altering the playing environment is forbidden.
• Alcohol and drugs: Access to the fields is strictly forbidden to anyone under the influence of alcohol or drugs. Management reserves the right to remove offenders.
• Clothing: We recommend sneakers or hiking shoes and sturdy sports clothing. The paint is fully biodegradable and washes off with water.
