It's ashame but the last time i checked the field is closed down. They say in the future they may run a new field. I hope they do, but if not people should know. When it was open it was a decent field with a friendly staff, with a cow pie or two. I hope they invest in a new field but i am doubtful they will anytime soon.| Last edited on Thursday, March 27th, 2008 at 4:56 pm PST |

This was my first experience playing at Kelly's.
Overall, it was a great time. The fields were fun, the owner and refs were nice people, and it was inexpensive. The location is convenient... took me around 1/2 hr from Lancaster.
I played at the BYOP day on Memorial Day weekend. It did not seem like there was a very large turnout - surprising because it was a nice day and prices were good. $20 walk-on included air/co2. They were also selling cases of paint for $46 but I don't remember the brand.
I was paranoid about laying/sliding in manure while playing on the hyperbarrel field but i managed to come out clean; there weren't any cow patties on the field that i can remember.
One of our first games my friend was shot by what had to be a hot gun....... blew a 1.5" hole through his thermal shirt and left what looked like a 3" bloody, black tumor. That was probably the only bad thing i can really say that happened.
i don't remember hearing any bad language, which is good becasue there were families and younger players there.
The fields were not fancy but they were alot of fun. There's airball, woods, attack/defend, and hyperbarrel...everyone should like at least one of them. I will be returning to this field in the future and reccomend it to anyone in the area. |

1. the staff here if VERY frendly. The refs are even kind when they call you out after a paintcheck. They do not allow anything to slide as far as playing on or wiping ets. keeping everything ligit.
2. The guy at the crony station did not have gogles on which bother me. After all safty must be first!
3. The airball feild was fun as was the barrel feild, however all the feilds were a muddy mess with laying water on the feild. that i can deal with but the cow paddies laying around was a bit much.
4. Staging area or more importantly lack there of. The staging area was what ever vehicle you drove.
5. Toilets, there was a porto potty there which is about standered at feilds but it would be nice to have a real bathroom with running water.
6. Air filling was a bit careless over filling tanks, only by 200 psi but still it is overfilling.
All in all it is not a bad feild and the staff does make up for a lot of the feilds setup short falls. I hope they are paid well cause they made it a good day. |

This was a great field. I was in the 5 man tourney they held, and like "brandon" said below we got our A$$'s handed to us on a plate. Although, The sponsored teams and the better guys helped us out a ton, and made us better paintballers. We used to be paintwasters, and have no teamwork or anything, they helped us move up a level, and enjoy the sport on a more active level. We now are all getting cockers and will be in the next tournament to show them what we have. The air field they had we a ton of fun, except there werent enough bunkers to run around at. Once you got to your bunker, you had to take out the next man to move up. Each side only had about 4 bunkers for 5 guys, and they were spread apart. Still that field rules if you never played on an air field before, very competitive. The barrel field was awsome extremely awsome. Id give that a 10! The field could fit a 15v15 if you wanted, or a recreational 5v5. All the pros there joined our game and we had a 10 v 10 and belive me, it was so fun. This was after the tournament, and wow, it was awsome. So much paint flying at you at once, a little auxilerating. They had so many bunkers to run to and a giant one in the middle, you dont get much better than that. It also gave us ideas to make our own field like that, it would be cheap and easy, but a ton of fun since we are "woods" players. We didnt get to try the woods field, attack and defend field or the new one they are building, supposedly it has an SUV in it to hide behind. I really want to go there again soon. There prices were awsome, 15 dollars to enter the tournament, free air, helpful pros, and cheap bigball paint. You have to try this place. www.kellyspaintball.com |

The Good - staff is friendly and knowlegable, prices are reasonable, pleasent experience
TheBad - thier fields are not the best the ultimate pipe field is one giant marshy swamp and thier woods field did'nt have a very nice setup. The place is in the middle of a cow field after all.
Overall - I'm giving it a 7 because of some shabby fields other than that it is a decent place to play. It is above average but not the best; right in the middle |

ok, well first of all the owner is real cool. That Ben and Andy both are real nice and really try to help w/ any thing they can. I was in the spring 5 man tourney and it was real fun even though we got 4th, but still the other guys in the tourney were cool. I got to play on the air field and the barrel field, both were great. The air field was real intence and the barrel field was just awesome. They have great prices 10 to get in and 55 for a case of big ball, 60 for mid evil, and 65 for evil. It was my teams first tourny and Ben and Andy gave us pointers. We are going to all they're tourney's hopefully and they're open days for practice. They have byop day's (bring your own paint)
I didn't get to play on the attack and defend field or the woods field but both looked great and like the other fields i played on they were kept in good condition. They have a pro shop as well it is great and they have good prices there too and Andy and Ben will help u there too they help fix your gun and what ever u need.
I have also played at outlaw and well it was fun but the place was kinda trashy but the owner was cool and helpful. The field its self was good though. it is kinda hard to find but so is kelly's. Both have about the same prices but outlaw only has one field and kelly's has four, but out law is indoors
so all in all i liked my time as kell's and will be returning many times to come

This is a great place to play. It's not to far away from anyone. They have great speedball layouts with the ultimate barrel field and the ultimate airball field. There is also a choice of wooded and rec-ball fields to play. Good fills, great prices, well maintained, and great reffing!!!!They also hold some of the best tournaments!!!! |

I actually been playing at Next Level Paintball for about 9 months but the select thing did not have that.
I play at Next Level for just fun and games so far but i have seen some of their tournaments. I have got to say I love Next Level Paintball because it is the best field around here and Next Level has the best deals I have ever seen. They do not rip you off. They carry balls that are worth what they sell them for, not extremely cheep ones and just crank up the price on them. Their refs are the best ones out there and they actually play paintball, not just ref so they do know what is going on.
I do not know what else that Next Level is going to go through with their fields. Sadly to say Next Levels humongous Hyperbarrel Field was taken over by a swamp, but Next level did not stand their hopeless. Instead they took the best out of it and split it into two great fields. Then the hurricane came and took out their woods field and then again they did not just leave it, they made it better and now their now they have came out better.
I do have to say one "bad" thing about Next Level. It is in a cow pasture, but unless you care and you come to play paintball and not get dirty then, you have problems. So if you want to Save money and have the best paintball experience then go to Next Level but if not and you want to spend money and have a bad time then go somewhere else.| Last edited on Friday, December 12th, 2003 at 8:38 pm PST |

I attended a 3-man tourney today at Next Level Paintball with my team, the Fight'n Amish. My team placed 2nd, Amish B placed 4th and Amish C placed 7th. We had a great time and the airball field was excellent. They moved the field around for the finals and made it extremely fun to play on. The refs were very very good and I have no complaints at all about them. The only thing I can say is they missed one hopper hit on me (orange paint on a red hopper, I barely saw it myself). They had some good burgers and snacks for sale...although $3.50 for a "homeade" cheeseburger is horrible. $70 a case for paint was pretty average for tourney prices for PMI Premium. The prizes were pretty good too, we won 3 68/3k PMI tanks for second and entry fee was $150. Overall I had a great time. Even though it was a 2 hour drive, parking was in a cow field complete with cow patties and my mini truck damn near got stuck a couple of times, it was a great day of paintball! |

This is a small set up. Four fields, one speedball, one fairly large field covered with many blue plastic 55-gallon drums nicely placed for cover. One wooded field sort of placed on a hillside with both starting points able to use the hilltop, so there isn’t an advantage with one side starting on the hilltop and the other side at the bottom being massacred. Then they have a field called attack and defend, which is a bunch of huge wire spool ends and pallets place in sort of a “u” and this represents a fort. In front of the fort is a batch of different types of cover including pallets and wood and an old Chevy SUV that you can use for cover to attack the fort. All the fields are nicely laid out and are fun.
This is a small outfit and the people running it are very friendly. The pricing is reasonable $15 walk on with all day air, $65 for a case of quality paint. They also have a bring your own paint day about once a month which raises the walk on fee to $20 bucks but then they lower paint price to $55 bucks for a case of good paint.
I believe chips and sodas are available, but nothing substantial, so if you want to break for lunch bring your own. This field isn’t really well known yet so attendance was sparse last time I went, but I think that will change once people find out about it and give it a try.
AMENDMENT
My son and I went to Next Level last weekend for the BYOP special and attendance was great. We had a blast. Something I forgot to mention above.... the refs, they are very attentive and professional and keep the games running smoothly.
