Kids Paintball Options

We know how keen kids are to come and play paintball and we totally understand why because its so much fun however we feel its important to offer paintball options geared to a guests age and ability and to give parents options to ensure there kids are not mixed in with adults unless that’s what they are happy to do.

At The Paintball Jungle in Sherwood Forest we have 3 different paintball options.

Low Impact Paintball for 8 – 12 year olds at £29 per player
CADET Paintball for large groups (20 +) players aged 11 – 16 years at £39 per player
Traditional Paintball for players aged 11 years plus (must have left year 6 at school) where prices vary so please check out the standard prices.

Loads More Info If You Have The Time

If you are 11 -16 years* old or a parent and are looking to arrange a paintball event / party for a birthday, school trip or end of season event for your sports club / team, the Paintball Jungle Cadet Event is ideal.

The Paintball Jungle is very keen to promote a fair and level playing field for every level of paintballer which is why in our opinion the Cadet Paintball event is ideal for junior paintballers that are 11 -16 year olds*.

Each junior will be kitted out in all safety equipment and protective clothing including body armour so they are fully protected along with state of the art paintball markers along with fully trained event staff and 150 acres of Sherwood Forest for them to run around in screaming and shouting as much as they like.

The event cost of £39 per player is fully inclusive so ideal if you need a party to stick to a budget. We provide everything they will need including 500 paintball all for the £39 entry fee.

As we know kids can often go trigger happy when playing paintball so we won’t be giving these budding Rambo’s all 500 paintball at the beginning of the event like some venues do often meaning after game 1 the kids have ran out of paintballs meaning your wallet or purse gets hit because you have to buy more ammo.

We will issue each player with paintballs at intervals across the event so the worst that can happen is that if they go mad in game 1 and shoot all there allotted paintballs they may have to sit out a game but trust us when we issue the next lot of paintballs they will have learnt a valuable lesson so it’s very rare they do it again.

We find this approach works for all groups as no one player has an advantage over another. They all have the same kit and number of paintballs regardless of how much pocket money they may get and we guarantee to never allow cadet paintballers to purchase any additional paintballs so it’s fair for all thereby delivering a fair & thoroughly enjoyable day.

To be able to play in our cadet paintball event each member of the group must either have a completed parental consent form which can be downloaded by clicking HERE or have an adult with them on the day that can counter sign the form that the cadets will have to complete on arrival before they will be permitted to play.

It’s all about team work and the great outdoors, no Nintendos, PSP’s or X Box allowed!

Got kids aged 8 + but do not want paintball?

If you have up and coming warriors desperate to paintball but you are not sure your they are quite ready for the rough and tumble of paintball why not check out our Laser Tag event.

Played in the great outdoors Laser Tag offers the thrill and excitement of paintball without projectiles so ideal for those wanting to take the next step after Quasar but not quite ready for paintball or having already played paintball they enjoyed the thrill but not the bruises.
