Weapon Check 101: How We Keep Foam Combat Safe

Ever wondered how people can safely fight at full speed with foam weapons?

This class is a hands-on introduction to how we keep combat safe, fair, and fun for everyone on the field. Whether you are brand new or already thinking about joining us, this is a great way to learn how the game works behind the scenes.

What you'll learn

• How we test foam weapons to make sure they are safe to use
• What makes a weapon “good to go” or not allowed on the field
• Simple ways to spot wear and tear before it becomes a problem
• The basic process we use before every practice and event

What this actually looks like
We will walk through our weapons and show you exactly what we check and why. You will get to handle gear, see examples, and try it yourself with guidance.

No prior knowledge needed. If you have never picked up a foam weapon before, you will be just fine.
