I started playing private games for birthday parties and hockey team parties against my friends with rentals or they had there own 98s. I had my own 98. My little brother who's ten will start paintballing this summer. My cousins whom are 7-8 I am buying them splat masters for Christmas and bulididng them a little field in there back yard I hope that will get them used to paintball

I started playing when I was 7 (now I'm 14). My little brother started coming with us a little bit when he was 6, but now he's 7 and comes with almost every time we go. He likes telling people paintball stories of him getting shot and shooting people (he actually isn't bad for a 7 year old)

[PBshooter2013]

id say 6 or 8 depends start them on .50 cal

[Tippmannr]

12 or 13.

[ibunkerupwnd]

I say 10 because they can take a hit and understand the rules properly

[rdpb197]

10 is a good age

[kostis11]

probably for every child there is a different proper age to start. it depents from his body (if he's capaple to handle the pb equipment) an if hes mature enough to play with the rules and to catch on with the game

I think it depends on the kid, my son is 6 and I'm going to get him his own stuff so he can learn to play and have fun. But there is no way I'd shoot him with a paintball at 280-300 fps right now because he probably would never play again (and he's a pretty tuff kid)
