The UKPSF is a voluntary body and exists to promote the sport of paintball, liaise with government bodies, local authorities and try to make the game of paintball safe and fun to play. One of the main objectives is to have the game of paintball recognised by the Sports Council as a sport!

Venues displaying the UKPSF "accredited" logo have achieved the United Kingdom Paintball Sports Federation's Accredited venue status. Sites displaying this logo meet all the standard membership criteria and have also passed a rigorous site accreditation scheme.
