Nitro Paintball is a family owned and operated business. Mario Maresco and his son Niko run the field while his wife and daughter run the check-in, booking and administration side of the business. All of their referees started at Nitro Paintball and are like an extended family to the Marescos. And the end result is that the customer is treated with extra care and handling - and that makes a huge difference in the experience. Nitro Paintball has eight different playing fields: Large Spool Ball, Hyperball, Castle, Fort, Hamburger Hill, Western Town and regulation size PSP Field. The PSP pits are complete with air and chronographs. As you can see from the photos there’s a large variety of playing fields and terrain and an even larger variety of man-made and natural bunkers and fortifications. A typical day’s play at Nitro Paintball would include separating the newer players from the experienced players in the morning and then combining the two groups to play big games that cover the entire playing field later in the day. This gives the new players a chance to gain some playing experience before they are mixed in with the more experienced group. During the course of the year Nitro Paintball hosts several tournaments, scenario games and other special events. Check their website for more details. And if you’re in the area be sure to give Nitro Paintball a shot. You’ll be glad you did.
