Is paintball safe for children and beginners?

Yes. Paintball is an extremely safe activity at Delta Force Paintball. We maintain a 100% safety record through strict protocols and the use of industry-leading equipment designed for players aged 10 and up.

To ensure a safe and enjoyable experience for beginners and younger players, we provide:

  • Low-Impact .50 Calibre Technology: Our markers use a smaller, lighter calibre that reduces impact energy significantly compared to traditional paintball, making it much more comfortable for new players.

  • Full-Head Goggle Systems: Our goggles feature a wrap-around system that protects the face, temples, and ears.

  • Bespoke Body Armour: Custom-designed torso protection is issued to all players as a standard safety requirement.

  • Professional Marshalling: Highly trained marshals supervise every game, enforce “no-fire” zones, and ensure all safety rules are strictly followed.

Information for Parents

We believe that parents are the best judges of their children’s readiness for adventure. Parents need to know about the nature of the activity and decide for themselves whether their particular child is hardy and mature enough to participate in paintball.

To help you with this decision, we have compiled a comprehensive Information for Parents” guide. This can be included in your initial information pack or requested directly from our friendly staff by calling 1-800-568-8909.

National Pro-Tip: All players under the age of 16 must have a completed parental consent form. We recommend providing the “Information for Parents” guide to other parents in your group along with the registration link to ensure everyone feels confident and prepared for game day.
