I came out to this field for the team practice held once or twice a month. Although new to the field i found the management very helpful and not to in your buisness thank god! the pro shop was jam packed with goodies for not only speedballers but also scenario junkys as well! i did not get to play on the rec fields or the woods field. However the Speed field i played on was pretty nice (a little spacious but i spose they may change it up). Overall 8-outa 10. Note-dem boyz, timberlords, and many other teams practice there so if ur looking for a good team to play this is deff the place! |

| Review: |
with the closure of my home field, timber creek, my pards and i were looking for a new place to call home when we found MVP. MVP could quite possibly be the best experince a new player could have and its a great field for the veteran as well. being a stock player, i was not given the usual cold treatment. brian wilson has more experience than anyone i've met and has the arsenal of past guns to prove it. the staff is well trained and SAFTEY IS UNCOMPRIMISED. zero tolerance for saftey offenders and those who dispute the rules, without having a bad attitude about it.
always clean, always stocked. the rental gear is above par and always immaculate. the service there is amazing and custom work is done well and at a good price.
wednesday night free games are a great way to get kids started.
the speedball feild has its issues but what course doesnt? there is a bit of a slant to the ground and some bunkers do not offer protection from the right angles. the lights could be higher at night so you dont burn your eyes out but those are so minor that they do not affect the experience.
the woods are great is you ever get down there.
all i can say is, MVP kept me in paintball.
-wilson, the guy in the suit. |

Safety is very important at MVP. At no time did I feel unsafe. Any violations of the rules are dealt with very swiftly. Refs are constantly, and I do mean constantly checking to make sure players are wearing masks, and have barrel plugs or condoms on. Ref to player ratios was very high and even playing with novice players no one made any unsafe moves. Everyone has fun, but if you do something unsafe you will get called on it. Fields are all netted off, and marked with bright tape so you know where boundaries are.
Short Field. It’s a good setup and is great for smaller games. The woods field is good and has good cover and layout so it can be used for multiple games and scenarios. Dident get to play on the tourney field, however it looks pretty good with a slight slant. A medium sized gulley through the center of the field makes for interesting combinations.
Prices are very reasonable and the staff doesn’t BS you. They encourage groups to buy paint by the case and split it. Very reasonable. Wed nights are free except paint. Group rates are available on the weekends. Paint was good quality (didn’t catch the brand) and costs 60 bucks for 2000. Very reasonable markup compared to many fields I’ve been at. So I’ll play their quite a bit more often, I just get to play for longer. I'll definitely recommend it to friends.
The rental equipment is top notch. Tipman 98's with standard hoppers and JT masks (good condition, no cracks, not dirty) If something goes wrong with the rental the staff will fix you up and quick. I'm used to my auto cocker and view loader, so when using a rental I chopped paint twice. Both times the staff hooked me up with a new hopper and a rag to clean off my paint.
Shop is clean and has a good selection of stuff you'd expect to find.
Use the bathroom before you go or you'll be using a porta potty. Big deal.
Played in a private group, however I’ve been told most of the other players are beginners and everyone is pretty cool.
Didn’t have to get anything fixed, but everyone says that the shop is fantastic. And the owner Brian who wasn’t around the day we played, is supposedly very cool and knowledgeable.
The feel was near perfect, and I the only reason I gave it a 9 was because a 10 would be absolute perfection and I have yet to see that anywhere. Highly recommended. Safe and fun.

GOOD- MVP is a great place to start learnig about paintball. the staff is really nice and helpful. Brian has over 15 year of pb experience. they have three fields that are all great . a speed ball field, woodsball, and a sup' air field.
and evey january they hold a snowball tourney
BAD- the only really bad thing are two things. the speed ball feild is on a slant, and when playing at night, the lights are right in your eyes if your at the bottom of the field.
the other thing is that they don't hold enough tourney's. the only tourney is snow ball. i know alot of people that don't like to play in the snow (including me if it is too cold).
they field is great but it would be better if they fixed the speed ball feild |

Mvp is a great field to come and play. They've got great staff and they all are playing paintball with their own team the timberlords. Tournaments are no worry because there are about 10 refs. watching the tournament games and it was only a three-man yg's tournament. So there is no worry about wussy wippers. It's really only woods ball but there is a speed ball course too. They have airball course's but they are only for the tournaments and practices. The owner Brian is one of the nicest guys you will me there. He knows what he is doing and he and jimmy can fix any and I mean any gun. There are certain guns Brain wont let on. And the store there is always stocked with everything and guns coming in every day. There isn't really a toilet there but a porter potty so go before you come. Over all GO THERE AND PAINTBALL. |

MVP is one of the best paintball fields I,ve ever been to! The owner, Brian, is the coolest guy you'll ever meet and the rest of the staff knows what their doin. Jimmy the tech man is a GOD when it comes to fixing your gun. Plus they are really cheap and have great stuff that you can buy!

Mvp is a great field with a knowledgeable group of people who will give you any help they can with your game or equipment. The arena field is very nice and a heck of a lot of fun to play in. There are always a bunch of people there playing so u dont have to worry about not getting to play. They do great work on guns, Jimmy the tech guy that works on the guns knows his stuff, he has got to be one of the best people around for working on any kind of gun. Brian the owner is very helpful and knows alot too, he also keeps games going one right after the next all day, so no long waiting in line. The woods ball field is huge and it is really fun to play in, there is even a castle on an island to play attack and deffend on. Mvp has a hyper ball/ airball field but its for tourneys only. |

Pros- very very very strict on safety the refs stop the game if someone takes off there mask and if there is a problem there will bring out brain. Brian knows what he is talking about so listen and he can fix almost any marker. The Fields are really good. The woods are really good and some of there scenarios are the best i have ever seen. there speed ball course is fun too. there have air ball Field but that is for tournament practice. There store has lot of stuff in it and it is organize. Now about there price it is excellent. 20 dollars for blaze paintballs, 5 dollars for entry and 10 dollars for the gun ,mask, c02 and a loader also 4 dollars for a c02 fill. It is all good stuff too. Plus if you go on a Wednesday it is all free except for paint. So if you can make it to MVP go,every one is really nice even the players
Cons- only 2 fields,and lack of plumbing but who really cares
Overall-10 out of 10 |

Good -
Great Staff, Lots of paintball stuff in the store, Best owner of a paintball feild you will find.
Bad -
Not realy a Sup'airball feild or hyperball for the tourny baller.
Their main speedball feild is more of a woodsball feel. Still nice. The store is clean, tidy, organized and PACKED with stuffs.

Very Friendly Place! I've ben to a couple other places and MVP is really nice to player no matter whether they are nubs or tourney ballers. Andy and Brian are really funny and is always making people laugh.
Safety -- They are the strictest place I've been to. They all start screaming at somebody if they take their goggles off the field, really loud.
Their store has lot's of stuff! Brian doesn't like Spyders but they carry lot's of parts for them and he can fix almost any gun. |
