What is a community?

Your people, in one place.

Paintball is a team sport, but finding a team is the hard part. A TACPLAY community is a personal space that you, a player, create and run yourself — for your city, your squad or your favourite way to play — with everything you need to get people on the field together.

  • Your own name, cover photo, description and rules
  • Public, private or invite-only — you decide who joins
  • Direct one-to-one messages with any player
  • Group chat, polls and pinned announcements
  • A shared list of upcoming sessions and events to book together
  • Roles for the group's creator, admins and members

Communities you can create

Whatever you play, there's a group for it.

Start one for anything that brings players together. These are the most popular kinds on TACPLAY.

  • Regional

    Everyone who plays around London, Manchester or your town — the easiest way to find games nearby.

  • Friends & direct chats

    Message any player one-to-one, or start a small private group with the friends you always play with.

  • Teams & squads

    Your fixed crew: plan tactics, organise kit and book sessions together as one team.

  • Play style

    Woodsball, speedball, scenario or milsim — meet players who love the same kind of game.

  • Beginners

    A friendly place for first-timers to ask questions, get gear advice and find a first game.

  • Events & tournaments

    A group per big event: line-ups, schedules, results and photos all in one place.

How it works

From download to game day.

Creating a community takes less than a minute in the TACPLAY app.

  1. 01

    Get the app

    Download TACPLAY and create your free player profile in under a minute.

  2. 02

    Create or join

    Start your own group — name, cover photo, rules, public or private — join one nearby, or message a player directly.

  3. 03

    Plan together

    Post games, run polls, chat and book the same session so the whole group plays together.

  4. 04

    Play & grow

    Climb the rankings as a community, earn badges and invite friends to fill your next game.

Why it matters

More games, better games.

Communities are what turn a one-off session into a habit — and the people you meet into the team you play with every week.

For players

  • Never play alone — there's always a group near you looking for players.
  • Fill a full 5v5 team or a birthday party in minutes, not days.
  • Learn faster from experienced players and swap gear advice.
  • Know who you're playing with: real profiles, rankings and ratings.

One-to-one or in a group

  • Message any player directly — arrange a game, a lift or a gear swap.
  • Start a group for your squad, your town or your weekend crew.
  • Session and event chats open for everyone booked into the same game.
  • Mute, leave or block at any time — you decide who can reach you.

Safe by design

A community you can trust.

Good communities need good rules. TACPLAY gives every group the tools to keep things friendly.

  • Admin tools

    Owners and admins approve members, pin rules and remove posts or people who break them.

  • Report & block

    Anyone can report a message or member; repeated abuse leads to removal from TACPLAY.

  • Privacy controls

    Choose public, private or invite-only, and decide what of your profile others can see.

  • Players only

    Every community is created and run by players — no business pages or ads in your chats.

Compete hard. Play fair. Treat people with respect.

Community Guidelines

FAQ’s

Questions about
communities.

Everything you need to know before you start or join your first group.

Ask more questions

Is creating a community free?

Yes. Any TACPLAY player can create and join communities in the app at no cost.

Can I make a private community?

Yes. Communities can be public (anyone can find and join), private (members must be approved) or invite-only (hidden from search).

Can my whole group book the same session?

Yes. Share a session in your community and members book their own spot — or one organiser books for the group.

Can I message a player directly?

Yes. You can chat one-to-one with any player, or add people to a group when you want to plan something together.

Can field owners create communities?

No. Communities are personal spaces for players — only players can create them. Fields reach players through the sessions and events they publish for booking.

Who can see what I post?

Only members of that community. Public communities show their name and description in search, but messages stay inside the group.
