We want every “young gun” at our Sydney centres to have a world-class experience. Here is how we manage player groupings:
-
Balanced Matchmaking: Our practice is to separate children and adult groups to ensure a fair competitive environment. We make every effort to match your group with players of a similar age and ability.
- Legal Restrictions (Ages 8–11): Under NSW law, children under 12 cannot participate in standard paintball. To bridge this gap, MiniBall (Ages 8–11) will be launching on 31st January 2026 . These sessions will be conducted in a separate environment with specialized gear, ensuring younger kids play only with their peers.
-
Mixed-Age Exceptions: You might see adults on the field in a youth session if they are parents or guardians participating in the same booking. We find that many Sydney parents love getting in on the action with their kids!
-
Professional Marshalling: All games are managed by our highly trained marshals. They act as “referees” to ensure all players—regardless of age—follow safety protocols and that the games remain fair and exciting.
Sydney Organiser Tip: With MiniBall launching for ages 8–11 on January 31st, these sessions are specifically tailored for younger recruits. It’s the perfect way to ensure your child plays with their peers in a safe, controlled setting.
