Paintballing for Kids

We host junior paintballing days for 11- 16 year olds – these make excellent birthday paintball parties, family trips and school outings.  Groups of any size are very welcome; safety is our first priority, and all children are carefully supervised throughout the day.  Predatorsport Paintball has an outstanding safety record and an enviable reputation for organising great kids days out.

"Thanks for an awesome day"

Game consent forms are completed by every player on arrival, and parental consent forms must also be completed by players younger than 16.  Predatorsport paintball staff will be on hand to help the children, but parents and/or teachers may find it saves time to download the game consent forms from this website, and pre-complete them.

Once through into the basecamp it's time for the children to try-on all the gear and make sure that everything fits them perfectly.  Again, Predatorsport paintball staff will be on hand to help, so it is not necessary for parents to remain with the children (the exception here would be under 14's who might like a parent to stay on-site for a time).

The lead marshal will summon everyone to the briefing area when it's time for the safety presentation. It may be that your child feels at this point a little anxious - and that's not a bad thing.  We require all children to pay very close attention the safety speech; it is at this time that the lead marshal will clearly explain the safety regulations, the rules of the game, and how to safely use the equipment.  The lead marshal delivers the speech, whilst other Marshals patrol the outer edge of the audience ensuring that everyone is paying attention.

This is the time to pay attention. The speech doesn't last long but it's very important.

When it's time for the players to leave the basecamp for their first game, the lead marshal will summon them by team. Immediately before leaving the basecamp a marshal will 'touch-check' the goggles of every player to ensure their goggles are properly fitted and that the chin strap is securely fastened. With the chin strap fastened it is unlikely the goggles will become accidentally dislodged, it also prevents the goggles being deliberately removed (contrary to all instructions) in the 'heat of the moment'.

Predatorsport staff 'touch-check' the goggles of every player, and adjust where needed at the start of the day.

Players are not issued with a paintball gun until after the safety presentation, and even then they are never permitted to bring it into the gun-free basecamp.  All paintball guns remain outside the basecamp, at all times during the day.  It is from the 'gun zone' that the weapons are issued before each game, and taken back into safe-keeping once it ends. 

The guns always stay outside the netted safe zone (basecamp).  Marshals issue them at the start of every game.

A hot lunch is provided with all packages  - this typically consists of spaghetti bolognese, chicken curry with rice, chilli with rice or something similar. Extra food is available to purchase including chips, burgers, hotdogs etc. We can provide vegetarian options, please advise us when booking in.

At lunchtime we all break for a much needed snack!

Another four games follow the lunch break, and then the day ends with a final game to use up any

It's the end of another great Young Guns event at Predatorsport, Coventry

How many paintballs do players need?  This is a very common question – and there is no easy answer. It simply depends how many times the player chooses to pull the trigger, and how much the bill-payer wants to indulge him/her.  The average use across the entire the company (by Juniors and Adults) is 400-500 paintballs per person per day – children generally use fewer paintballs than adults. Parents should decide their budget, and make their selection of package accordingly.  It is recommended that children attending birthday parties be advised to bring a bit of pocket money along if they wish to buy extra ammo over-and-above that provided for in the package.  Extra paintballs can be purchased at any time during the day.

The 300 paintball package is the option most often selected by parents for children’s parties.
