Aussie Men's Rugby 7's team at Delta Force Paintball - Appin

As a part of a three-day camp the full squad visited Delta Force’s Appin location and undertook some adrenaline-filled activities. The requirement of team work, communication and strategy makes paintball an ideal activity for these elite athletes.

Delta Force Appin has an amazing array of scenarios and game zones making it an ideal location for the national side’s training camp. Crowd favourites include the custom-designed and manufactured Black Hawk chopper; 30 ft. Egyptian pyramid with guarding sphinxes; London double-decker bus amongst many more. The Delta Force team used these epic game zones along with creative scenarios to take the players on a physical, thought-provoking and competitive series on challenges.

At the conclusion of the session the team presented Delta Force with a signed jersey as a sign of their appreciation. A fantastic session was had by all and Delta Force is proud to be the paintball provider of choice for the Australian Men’s Rugby Sevens team and play a small part in their pursuit of Gold.
Want to avoid a paintball injury? Read on!
Don’t get me wrong, paintball is a safe game! We all take a tumble every now and then, but we’ve seen some studies that show paintball as being safer than other contact sports such as Rugby or Soccer. That being said though, I wouldn’t be a good friend if I didn’t give you some tips and hints to avoid injury on the field! So, how do you avoid a paintball injury?
Wear clothes
Some do, some don’t. It’s our advice that if you want to avoid bruising from our paintballs that you wear clothes. A light hoodie provides great protection, as the balls hurt more if they explode on unclothed skin! We provide all our players with a standard protective suit, and the option to upgrade is always there! Hands are the worst place you can be hit, so we suggest either bringing your own gloves, or hiring a pair of specialised paintball gloves. You won’t regret it!
Wear your goggles on the field
This is already a rule at our fields, but if you want to leave with the eyes you came with, wear your goggles! Paintballs can be swift little buggers, so wear your mask or risk injury and being sent off the field! This is honestly the best way to avoid a paintball injury, trust us!
Wear proper footwear
Paintball isn’t a fashion contest, so trust us. Wear sturdy shoes that provide ankle support and decent tread. The fields can get muddy if it’s rained, and we’d hate for anyone to be unprepared! Avoid shoes that you don’t want to get dirty, because trust us, with all the running, crouching, hiding and attacking you’ll be doing, dirty shoes are the least of your problems!
Listen to the Marshals
It’s pretty simple; these guys work to make sure everyone is happy and safe, they want to avoid a paintball injury just as much as you! One of the best tips I can give you as a paintballer is to listen to their advice and safety instruction. If you listen to the marshal you’ll prevent any possible injuries that might occur, but you can also gain some awesome advice to use on the field later! Have a wicked day on the field guys, and stay safe!
Delta Force Paintball in Newcastle Has Reopened!

After months of downtime filled with more Netflix marathons than we’d like to admit, too many takeaway deliveries, and getting our paintball fix through the latest Call of Duty, we’re thrilled to announce that our Newcastle centre is officially open again!

On Sunday 17th October, we welcomed our first paintball enthusiasts back through the gates. After several months without the sound of markers firing or players storming the battlefield, it felt amazing to bring the action back to life.

We chose to begin with a soft relaunch and limited player numbers, giving us the opportunity to refine our systems, refresh our operations, and ensure everything was running with maximum smoothness and efficiency.

During our closure, we focused on improving and elevating key parts of the Delta Force experience:

• Staff have undergone updated training to enhance service, safety, and operational standards.
• Hand sanitiser stations are available at all key touch points throughout the centre.
• All equipment is thoroughly cleaned and maintained before, during, and after events.
• We have introduced allocated table seating and improved spacing for groups.
• Streamlined procedures are now in place for payments, equipment collection, and overall event flow.
• All paintball markers, door handles, and frequently touched surfaces are cleaned between every session.
• Our schedule now incorporates shorter, high-intensity sessions — giving players the same amount of thrilling action in a more efficient timeframe.

All these improvements (and more!) ensure we continue delivering the world-class Delta Force Paintball experience you know and love — now even more polished, efficient, and immersive.

To the guests who had bookings postponed during our downtime, thank you for your patience. We’re officially open, back in full swing, and ready to host your next event.

Our phone lines are open with adjusted hours — call 1300 769 223 or book online to secure your next mission!
