Youth Week is coming up fast, for the week of April 20 – 27, 2014. The weather will be decently warm for this time with a high of around 10°C each day, which makes for a great opportunity to get out and play an exciting game of paintball or airsoft. Just round up a couple friends and head out close to Cochrane to Capture the Flag Paintball and Airsoft, where you can spend some quality time shooting at each other. Capture the Flag will be discounting for the entirety of Youth Week – please contact Youth Central at youthweek@youthcentral.com to get coupons for Capture the Flag Paintball, Laser Trek & Airsoft!

In a short interview, Capture the Flag provides a brief summary and some advice about their sports:

We have two activities, paintball and airsoft, available at our 116 acre and 21 course facility. Groups consisting of those 10 years of age and up play paintball and 14 years of age and up play airsoft.  Both sports work great for team parties, companies/corporate groups, birthday parties, churches, schools and stag/stagettes. Included in your day is the unlimited hot dog BBQ and crystal powdered drinks, so food and drink is included, or bring any of your own.

Paintball and airsoft are great as team building activities for groups of all ages (10 years+) and abilities. Both activities are physical so you not only get to have fun but you also get in a great workout running, crawling and hiding throughout our massive 116 acre facility.

Advice is to not get scared or intimidated by the sport. Paintballs can “wake” you up but most of those 10 years of age and up really enjoy the sport and end up having a great time even if they are nervous at the start. You always play privately at our facility so you never have to join with others. Expect to be here for two-six hours playing as we have no time limit. Main thing to focus on when playing the sports of paintball and airsoft is to have a fun time and not take it too seriously.
