    To avoid disappointment, we recommend booking at least two weeks in advance. All dates are subject to availability and operate on a first-come, first-served basis.

    • Securing Your Spot: Please note that your booking is only officially secured once your payment has been processed and player numbers are confirmed.
    • Minimum Notice: Early booking also ensures we have sufficient professional marshalling staff rostered to provide your group with a world-class experience.

    National Pro Tip: Looking for a last-minute mission? Give our team a call on 1300 490 898. We occasionally have late cancellations or newly opened sessions that may allow us to fit your group in at short notice!

    There is no minimum or maximum group size requirement at Next Level Paintball; you can play with any number of participants or even join the action individually.

    • Mixed Groups: To ensure a dynamic and competitive atmosphere, smaller parties will be mixed with other players of a similar age and ability to make up teams for the day.
    • Private Games: For those seeking an exclusive experience, private games can be arranged for larger groups of 40 or more people.
    • Minimum Requirements: Please be aware that to open a centre on a specific date, we may require a minimum spend depending on the total number of players booked. Please enquire for specific requirements at your chosen centre.
    • Booking Flexibility: Whether you are a solo "young gun" or a massive corporate battalion, our event coordinators can tailor the day to suit your group size.

    National Pro-Tip: If you are looking to secure a specific date for a small group, call us on 1300 490 898 to see which sessions already have players booked—this is the best way to ensure the centre is open and ready for your mission!

    Yes! We recommend booking for your minimum confirmed players as early as possible. Our centres are among the most popular in the country, and session spots fill up quickly—especially on weekends.

    • Secure Your Date: Booking for your core group now ensures you don’t miss out on your desired date and session time. It’s better to lock in a slot for 10 "young guns" now than to wait for 20 and find the day is fully booked.
    • Add Players Later: You are welcome to add more players to your booking up until a few days before your event. Simply call our national coordination team to check equipment availability, and we will do our best to accommodate the extra recruits.
    • Stress-Free Planning: Don’t let a few “maybe” responses hold up the entire group. Locking in the confirmed players officially starts the countdown to game day and often encourages the rest of the squad to commit!

    National Pro-Tip: Demand for our world-class game zones is high nationwide. We suggest booking for your “definites” today, then sending a “final call” to the rest of your group once the date is secured. You can manage any additions with a quick call to 1300 490 898.

    While the availability of specific venues can occasionally change due to maintenance, seasonal hours, or circumstances beyond our control, we are committed to finding the best solution for your mission.

    • Alternative Venues: If your preferred centre is currently unavailable, we will always offer you the closest possible alternative locations within our national network to ensure your game goes ahead.
    • Expert Assistance: Our event coordinators will endeavour to find the most convenient alternative for your group based on your specific travel requirements and the age of your players.
    • Up-to-Date Info: We are constantly expanding! For the latest information on new centre launches and current availability, please contact our national booking office directly.

    National Pro Tip: Planning an event for a specific date? Call us on 1300 490 898 and we can instantly check the live availability of every centre in your region to find the perfect fit for your group!

    New South Wales (NSW) 12 Years +

    • Equipment Upgrades: A variety of optional gear upgrades, including tactical gloves, groin guards, and specialized markers, may be available at the centre to enhance your game.

    National Pro Tip: For the best value, ask our events team about our bulk paintball packages when you call 1300 490 898 to finalize your booking. Locking in a package early is the smartest way to save on your total "ammo" spend!

    To ensure your squad stays hydrated and full of energy, please note the following on-site facilities and catering policies at our national centres:

    • Payment Methods: Our shops accept cash and Eftpos (Visa and MasterCard) for your convenience.

    National Pro Tip: During the scorching summer months, freezing a few bottles of water the night before is a classic move to ensure you’ve got ice-cold water all day! If you have any questions about the facilities, give the team a buzz on 1300 490 898.

    From the moment you rock up, our crew ensures your experience is professional, safe, and high-energy. A typical session follows this itinerary:

    • Arrival & Registration: You'll be greeted by our friendly staff for check-in. To skip the queues and get a fast-track entry, please ensure all players have completed their online registration forms before arriving at the centre.
    • Kitting Up: Once you're checked in, we’ll get you sorted with professional-grade gear, including your full-head goggle system, bespoke body armour, and full-body combat suit with a padded neck protector.
    • Compulsory Safety Briefing: Before the action kicks off, every player must attend a professional safety briefing. This covers how to handle your marker, the rules of the game zones, and our strict safety protocols to keep everyone in the clear.
    • The Action Starts: You’ll head out to our themed game zones to play 4–6 varied missions per session. Each game has a different objective to test your team's strategy, communication, and skill.

    National Pro Tip: We recommend arriving at least 15 minutes before your session start time. This gives your squad plenty of time to get through registration and kitted up so you don't miss a second of the action. If you're running late, give us a buzz on 1300 490 898!

    To ensure a smooth start to your mission, we provide several tools to help you find our bushland entrances easily.
    Being prepared with your directions ensures your squad arrives on time for the first safety briefing.

    • Use your Booking PDF: Upon booking, you will receive a confirmation email with a map and detailed directions. We strongly recommend sharing this PDF with every driver in your convoy before you head out.
    • Sat Nav Caution: While GPS is handy, our centre entrances are often tucked away in natural bushland and can be easy to miss. Please cross-reference your Sat Nav with the specific directions in your booking pack to ensure you reach the correct gate.
    • Google Maps & Pin Drops: Many of our centres can be found by searching for the specific centre name in Google Maps. If you're unsure, check your confirmation email for the most accurate GPS coordinates.
    • Live Support: If you're having a bit of trouble finding us on the day, give our event coordinators a buzz on 1300 490 898. Our team can provide you with direct guidance to the car park to get you sorted.

    National Pro Tip: Mobile reception can be "patchy" once you get closer to our rural bushland locations. We recommend downloading your map or taking a screenshot of the directions before you leave home so you’re not relying on 4G/5G to find the front gate!

    We offer both morning and afternoon sessions, with each mission lasting approximately 3 hours.
    This timeframe is designed to provide a high-intensity, immersive experience while ensuring your squad gets plenty of action on the field.

    • Centre-Specific Times: Operating times can vary slightly between our national locations. To confirm the exact start and finish times for your local centre, please check your booking PDF confirmation.
    • Arrival Time: We recommend rocking up at least 15 minutes before your session start time to get through registration and kitting up so you don’t miss a minute of the action.

    National Pro Tip: If you're looking for a specific time slot or want to check live availability for a large group, give our coordinators a buzz on 1300 490 898 or use our LiveChat feature. Sessions fill up fast, so it’s always best to book your "definites" early!

    • Footwear: We strongly recommend sturdy walking boots with ankle support and deep tread rubber soles, especially as it can get muddy during the winter months.

  • Yes. You are welcome to bring your own gear to the centre; however, all equipment is subject to the final approval and discretion of the Centre Manager.

    • Paintball Markers: To use your own marker, you must hold a valid state-specific Paintball Marker Permit. We exclusively use .50 Calibre markers, and your equipment must pass an on-site chronograph test to ensure it fires below 300 FPS.

    • Full-Body Combat Suits: Our thick suits feature integrated padded neck collars for extra protection in sensitive areas.

    • Armoured Tactical Gloves: Highly recommended to protect hands and knuckles; these are available for purchase at our on-site shop.

    At Next Level Paintball, we believe the adventure should be accessible to as many people as possible. While there are no strict height or weight restrictions, we recommend the following for your comfort and safety:

    • Mobility & Terrain: Our game zones are located in natural environments. Players should be comfortable navigating uneven bushland terrain, slopes, and natural forest floors.
    • Safety First: For your protection, we must be able to ensure that our safety goggles and body armour fit correctly and securely. A secure fit is essential for maintaining our industry-leading safety standards.
    • Inclusive Play: If you have specific concerns about sizing, mobility, or a medical condition, please call our booking office. Our team is experienced in assisting players of all backgrounds to ensure they have a world-class experience.

    National Pro-Tip: If you’re unsure about equipment fit or terrain access at a specific centre, call our team on 1300 490 898. We are more than happy to provide further details on our equipment specifications to put your mind at ease!

    We want every “young gun” at our centres to have a world-class experience. We take great care in managing our player groupings to ensure games are fun, fair, and safe for everyone.

    • Age-Appropriate Matchmaking: Our standard practice is to separate children and adult groups to ensure a balanced competitive environment. We make every effort to match your group with players of a similar age and ability level.
    • Family Groups: You may see adults on the field during a youth session if they are parents, guardians, or older siblings participating as part of the same booking. Many parents love sharing the experience with their kids!
    • MiniBall (Ages 8+): Specifically tailored for our youngest recruits, MiniBall is the perfect way to ensure your child plays with their peers in a highly controlled setting.
      • Sydney & Newcastle: Ages 8–11
      • Melbourne & Brisbane: Ages 8–14
      • Perth: Ages 8–11
      • Canberra: Ages 8–15
    • Standard Paintball: This begins at the next age bracket immediately following the local MiniBall limit (e.g., 12+ in Sydney, 15+ in Melbourne). In Adelaide (Monarto), Standard Paintball is available from age 10.
    • Professional Marshalling: All games are managed by highly trained marshals acting as active referees. They ensure all players follow safety protocols and that gameplay remains fair and exciting.
    • National Pro-Tip: If you are organising a youth birthday party, call our team on 1300 490 898. We can help you choose the best session time for your group’s specific age bracket.
