Children as young as 12 free to play paintball | juliepower

Paintball operators are expecting a busy school holiday trade following NSW government changes introduced on July 1 that allow children as young as 12 to play for the first time.

Demand from younger players had been growing because of the "gaming generation". "We teach them how to move and communicate as a group, and work together to reach objectives," he said. Children's safety experts, though, are urging paintball operators to develop strong guidelines to ensure children aren't inadvertently injured and ensure that staff and management take seriously the requirement to undergo checks on children.

"It would be preferable to involve children in a play activity and avoid ‘targeting’ other children or even silhouettes of people or animals," she said.
