About Us
Is Paintballing a Good Workout?
Playing paintball as a sport provides a full-body workout through activities like running, crawling and diving, which builds cardiovascular endurance, increases strength, and improves agility and reactions. The constant motion elevates your heart rate, aiding in calorie burning for weight loss, while the intense physical activity also serves as a powerful stress reliever and boosts mood by releasing endorphins.

Meet The Owners of Valhalla Paintball
Valhalla Paintball is owned and operated by husband and wife team Troy and Bronwyn Charlesworth, with a combined experience of over 40 years working in the paintball industry. Before the even met, both Troy and Bronwyn had previously worked in the hospitality industry where they fine tuned their customer service skills.
Troy began playing paintball in 1996 after a friend recommended he check it out. Unlike most people that play paintball for the first time he didn't go as part of a group. When he arrived he was asked if he wanted to jump in with an amateur paintball team "Cockatoo Creed" to make up numbers for their training session, unfortunately the team already had a full roster and didn't invite him to join full time. Troy was unable to find a team in Victoria to join full time however undeterred Troy did what he needed to do to get his paintball marker licence and gear and in the process began a friendship with Mike Whybrew the owner of Paintball Shop in Sydney.
It was Mike who introduced Troy to Bad Company Sydney, who gladly accepted him onto their roster. They would go onto win the Australian Paintball Players League amatuer division in 1997. He then joined Apparition in 1998 whoe called Ballan Victoria their home field and started working as a ref here as he had previously done so at Cockatoo, Apparition would go on to win the amatuer division the same year in 1998. After talking to Andrew Hookem, Troy joined Rat Pak who called Carrum Downs their home and they went on to win Pro div 1999, 2000 and 2001. He then retired from paintball, both competition and working for several years.
Troy returned to paintball in 2008 and started working as a Field Manager at his previous home field Carrum Downs as well as forming Melbourne Reign with a close friend he had made during his early years playing. Melbourne reign had early success in 2010 winning the Hookem Cup which was named in honour of former Rat Pak team mate Andrew Hookem. Reign would go on to win serveral tournaments however they were never able to claim a series win, finishing runner up in their division 3 years running. Around the same time Troy and Bronwyn got together and it is still debatable as to whether she loves him for who he is or because of paintball! ;)
Troy finally retired from paintball in 2014 when it becameo brutally obvious he was not nearly as young as he would like to have believe he was. In 2019 the opportunity to take over the ownership of the current business came about, during the years they have built the business up. Bronwyn also played a few seasons in the amateur division with mixed success, het highest placing being 2nd. They have lived in the Ipswich area since 2019 and in that time have grown to love the area so much they would never go back to Victoria.

A Brief History
2014
It's All About The Tactics
After playing paintball for several years, 3 brothers realised there was something missing from the skirmish game. Since they'd started playing recreationally on weekends, they'd noticed there was a lack of team work required to win a game. Inspired by video games like Call of Duty and Battlefield, the brothers decided to bring online gaming into the real world, and in January 2014 opened the gates at Tactical Operations Paintball.

The Best Paintball Just Got Better
Tactical Operations Paintball changed ownership in July 2019, the name was then shortened to Tac Ops Paintball. The new owners have been involved in paintball since 1996 and are truly passionate about paintball. Tac Ops Paintball mission statement is to provide the best paintball experience possible in Brisbane, with the best equipment, fields, prices and most importantly customer service.
2021
Where The Brave Live Forever
Firstly we began by upgrading most of our equipment, including the most recent technology in rental paintball markers, the Planet Eclipse Emek (which we use as our standard rental paintball marker, next we modified the games to still allow for tactics and teamwork while making them more fun for birthday and bucks groups. Finally we changed the name to something that suited the kind of paintball centre we wanted to be!

Does Not Play Well With Others
Valhalla Paintball has been offering private sessions for awhile now, the majority of players that come through our gates are there to shoot friends, not complete strangers. We reduced the amount of players needed for a private session from the tradional 20 players that most paintball centres require, if they offer private sessions at all, down to 10! Who wants to be crammed in like sardines with up to 80 players on a game zone that struggles to safely contain 40!

Because Size Really Does Matter
Not all paintball centres have the size that Valhalla Paintball does, we're set on a massive 120 acre property. With 6 recreational game zones and our speedball game zone, we can offer a truly unique paintball experience. The thing is usually only 1 or 2 of our fields are in use at the same time, what if we spread our sessions out. Tradionally there is a session in the morning and a session in the afternoon, what if we ran 6 sessions instead? Only time will tell!
