I did that with the kids and their friends last winter, never again:

1) I am the tall fat guy that seems to be an easy target.
2) Semi frozen paintballs hurt when they hit tall fat easy targets.
3) Tall fat easy targets are not a nimble as they were 20 years ago, becoming easier to hit tall fat easy targets.
4) Tall fat easy targets have to pay to become tall fat easy targets, semi-frozen paint balls are not cheap.
5) Tall fat easy targets would rather go fishing...

I was wondering the whole time why none of the parents volunteered to take the kids? I now know...

ha-ha I know the feeling, I play in the spring/summer because half frozen paintballs hurt like a *****. I am 6'8" and can guarantee I get hit in the head at least once thinking I was hiding.

But when you get the chance to tag your brother dead center in the face mask that is priceless

Paintball was my love for many years, I played all over the NW and California w/ some of the NW tournament teams. It was a blast. Bein' tall isn't an advantage in paintball like it is in some other sports. Wow, 6'8- I bet you hate airplanes more than I do.
