Wondering is paintballing hurts is one of the first questions nervous newbies ask! If you follow the rules and you wear all the kit given to you, paintballing is pretty safe. You're more likely to wake up the next day with aching legs and arms from all the running around you've been doing!

Yes we do! Suppliers offer specific sessions just for kids between the ages of 10 and 16 years. There's no room from grown ups, it's all about the kids having some paintball fun. There are also family sessions so grown ups and their kids can play together.
If a paintball hit your bare skin it would really sting. When you've got all the gear on you might not feel much at all, and if you do it's a bit like having an elastic band pinged at you.
