One of the most enjoyable aspects of playing paintball is that the game can be enjoyed any time of the year. No matter what the weather, you can go out and play a great game of either woodsball or move the game indoors at a professional facility if it's raining badly or far too hot or cold to play outdoors. No matter what, there's always a place to play paintball.

In the winter, you can up the fun of your woodsball games by dressing in white and blending in with the snow as much as possible. There are a few considerations for playing in colder temperatures however. Number one being your paintballs. If exposed to extremes of heat or cold- they tend to warp and once warped, they may or may not travel through your barrel. More often than not, warped paintballs tend to burst inside your barrel making it necessary to get out of the game and do a little field stripping cleaning to your paintball marker.

Dress in light layers. A t-shirt, a thermal shirt and a jersey should be enough for most winter play - take a jacket along and as you run and play paintball, you can always take it off when you start feeling overheated. Speaking of overheated, it is very possible to become dehydrated during the winter - so pack along water to drink so you stay on the top of your game.

Stay warm, stay hydrated and don't bring along more paintballs than you can comfortably use in a game so they don't get too cold and warp and then you'll have a great winter season of playing paintball.
