Eligibility

All players on a team for a particular school must be eligible to play for that school as determined by NCPA rules (see below). It is NOT necessary for your team to be officially recognized by your school. The ONLY requirement is that all of your players are eligible.

For private schools, only students who actually attend that school may play on that school's team. For public schools, the following players are eligible to play on that school's team:

Any student who is enrolled at that high school.
Any student enrolled in junior high school who would normally proceed to attend that high school after completing junior high school.
Any student who attends a private school, but would attend that public high school were they to leave the private school and enroll in public school.
Any student who is home-schooled, but would attend that public high school if they enrolled in public high school.
Any student who attends a 'magnet' school, but would attend the public high school if they elected not to attend the magnet school. To be considered a 'magnet' school, the school must accept students who would normally go to several different high schools were they not attending the magnet school, and enrollement in the magnet school must be voluntary. Voluntary means that, if the student wanted to, they could leave the magnet school AND they would then attend the team's public high school.
NO ONE ELSE is eligible to compete for a high school team. If you have any questions about eligibility rules, you should email ncpa@college-paintball.com or call (612)605-8323.

Team Sign-Up and Event Check-In

Sign-Up: All teams must sign up and pay their registration fee online. Click Here for detailed instructions

Check-In: (ID REQUIRED!) Each player must bring their photo student ID card. If you don't have a photo student ID card, you should bring a copy of your yearbook. If you don't have a yearbook, then you need a photo ID and a report card or transcript. Private and home schooled students should have a photo ID and proof of address. If you have trouble with these requirements, please email ncpa@college-paintball.com as soon as possible.

Players under 18 years of age whose parent will not be present at the event should download a waiver from the field where they will be playing and have that waiver signed by their parent and bring the waiver with them.

Common Questions:

My school doesn't like paintball. Can we still play? YES! The only requirement to compete is that the players on your team meet the NCPA eligibility rules (see above).

How many players may be on a team? You may have up to 5 players on the roster, but only three may play each game.

May we have more than one team? Each school may enter as many teams as they like.

My school district has two high schools. Can we play on the same team? Unfortunately, no. Each school must field its own team.

When will the layouts be released? Field layouts will not be released in advance of the events. Arrive at the event to allow time for field walking.

Are team jersies required? Although matching uniforms are encouraged, they are not requried for high school competition.
