It really depends on what type of paintball you are intending to play. I was reallly into paintball during high school, had top of the line gear, decked out in our sponsors gear etc. I got bored of it, and I wasnt a fan of practicing twice a week and spending $30 a case on paint, even though our sponsorship covered most of the cost. During my senior year after I started to get out of it, my friends went to PSP World Cup in Orlando and placed 4th in 5 man rookie, it was quite cool. Woodsball is ALOT of fun, although I rarely played it...paintballs dont hurt too much, if kids keep their speed to sub 300 fps
