Kids Paintball on Award-Winning Paintball Maps

These maps have been developed and refined over many years and include varied terrain, structures and cover that allow games to feel exciting, immersive and memorable. Playing on full-scale maps gives children a real sense of adventure while still being carefully supervised and controlled.
This approach is a major reason families travel from across Yorkshire to play kids paintball with us.
Dedicated Kids Paintball Equipment
All children use dedicated kids paintball equipment, designed specifically for younger players. This equipment is lighter, easier to handle and fires at lower impact levels than adult paintball markers, ensuring a fun and confidence-building experience.
Equipment is fitted and checked by marshals before play begins, and children are guided clearly on how to use it safely and correctly.
Using proper junior equipment allows children to enjoy paintball without fear, while still experiencing real gameplay.
Experienced Marshals Who Know Paintball
Kids paintball sessions are supervised by experienced marshals who genuinely understand the sport. Many of our marshals have been playing paintball themselves since 1988, bringing decades of practical knowledge to every session.
This experience matters. Marshals know how to explain games clearly, manage group behaviour, keep children engaged and spot issues before they arise. Safety, confidence and enjoyment are always prioritised.
Parents can be confident that kids paintball is being delivered by people who truly know paintball, not casual supervisors.g fully protected throughout the session.
