Details
This tutorial teaches players how to use a barrel cover a required safety device at all fields. Players begin by sliding the elastic loop over the marker and pulling the fabric pouch completely over the barrel tip.
The elastic should be tensioned enough that the cover cannot slip off if the marker is bumped or pointed downward. Beginners adjust the strap so the pouch remains centered without sagging.
Players learn staging area routines: place the cover on before setting the marker down, before walking through crowds, and immediately after leaving the playing field. The tutorial covers checking the seams for fraying, verifying the elastic still retracts fully, and ensuring the pouch has no holes.
A well maintained barrel cover reduces accidental paint discharge and helps keep staging areas safer for players and spectators.
