Q: Is paintballing safe for under 18's.
A: Yes, if the group is accompanied by a responsible parent or guardian who can take full responsibility for the group. As you can imagine, we take safety very seriously, however sometimes under 18's can injure themselves and others by virtue of their age and lack of awareness and danger. This is why we require a guardian for the group who we can refer to. We also require a parental disclaimer to be filled out by each parent.(see here)

Q: How many paintballs is my child likely to use during the paintball session?
A: At Nottingham Paintball we recommend limiting the amounts of rounds for juniors to 50 - 100 paintballs per game. This way your child will only use the free rounds already included within the paintball package plus you won't get a surprise paint bill at the end of the session!

Q: What is the minimum group size for a party of under 18's?
A: There isn't a minimum group size for weekend bookings. We will always accommodate a small or large group of juniors on any weekend date.

Alternatively you may print one off from here and bring it with you on the day.
