I wear slider shorts under my pants. These have a nice cushion in the front to protect your groin but aren't restrictive like a hard cup. You can get them anywhere baseball supplies are sold.

I have played paintball several times and never been hit in the groin. I havent even worried about it really until i read your question. I dont think you will be hit in the groin but if you were if would hurt bad. The only way you really could protect yourself if you really wanted to would be to get a protective cup. I would be more worried about getting hit in the hand though. I would wear gloves for sure.

I have been paintballing a few times and have never been hit in the groin. Most of the time you are either on one knee or lying on the ground which both will protect you groin. I wouldn't worry about it. If you are really worried wear lose fitting pants, they will stop it from hurting as bad.

The chance of getting hit in the groin is rare, but trust me if you do get hit there you will regret not wearing the protection. The most effective protection is an average cup which you can pick up at a sporting goods store. If you cant get your hands on a cup just wear many layer of pants/shorts.
HAVE FUN!

FRom my experince, i continuously have worn paintball pants, yet you do no longer continuously could kneel down if ur going to play woodsball, yet i'd rec like a skateboarding knee-pad. If its extra of a stiffness concern i'd purely strech and purchase a form of knee pads from sport authority, something like that,

They call it paintBALLing because....well, you know already. Just cram a bunch of gym socks down the front of your shorts, that should not only protect you but impress the ladies on the team. Have fun!

Actually it's called a cup, not a cap. Go to any local sports equipment store and it should cost only a few bucks.
