I have been playing 'ball at The Alternative Sport at every available opportunity this summer. It's been superfatty fly.

There are usually players of all ages and skill levels present. Everyone is welcome. I've never seen anybody really get pissy or anything like that. It's a good bunch. I like 'em.

I really like the way the woodsball field plays for the most part. The airball field format gets changed around every so often to keep things interesting.

The Alternative Sport Excellent option of either playing up in the woods or down on the airball field. Great atmosphere, excellent refs and staff. Killer paint and amazing prices!
