types of play:
PAINTBALL
The amazing game of paintball offers various styles and types of play with something for everyone! Whether you're an athletic competitor looking for the challenge of tournament competition, an outdoorsman stalking your opponents through the woods or a tactical operator with a magazine-fed carbine, whatever your style of play Valken has the knowledge and equipment you need to learn the game, love the game and WIN!
WOODSBALL
In 1981 a dozen players walked into the woods of New Hampshire to play the first documented game of paintball, and the game has been played in the woods ever since. There’s no adrenaline rush quite like stalking your enemy amongst the trees, wind rustling the leaves, light and dark patches of ground as light filters through, never quite knowing where an opposing player might appear. Putting on camo and stepping into the treeline to play the game is the most pure form of paintball there is and Valken proudly supports woodsball today - grab your gear and come with us!
TOURNAMENT
It doesn’t take long. Once the initial rush of the first few games of paintball subsides the question quickly arises - just how good at paintball am I? Time to find out. From the local level all the way through regional and nationally-ranked divisional competition all the way to the professional level, paintball tournaments are where serious, competitive players square off to discover who the best really is. But you need tournament paintball gear that takes the game as seriously as you do to compete at your best - Valken has it.
SCENARIO
The world of scenario paintball is an amazing place that most paintball players, regardless of age, experience level or playing style, quickly fall in love with! But what the heck is scenario paintball after all?
SPEEDBALL
Envisioned, and then invented, in the early eighties as an adrenalin-packed action adventure sport, paintball has grown through the years to be played worldwide and as it’s grown, the game has evolved. Part of the evolution of paintball is the development of speedball as an intense, condensed and spectator-friendly form of paintball with all the adrenalin and none of the creeping around in the woods looking for the other team!
MAGFED
Lock and load! Mag-fed paintball has exploded in popularity in just a few short years thanks to the dedication and skill of those who play it, one well-aimed shot at a time in a world of 200 round hoppers and ten shot per second ramping paintball guns!
