Mini-Paintball
Delta Force is now taking bookings for mini-paintball events for 8-10 year olds! Call 0844 477 5050 to book your session. These exciting events are currently available at our Deepwood centre in Effingham, Surrey, and from 1st April 2012 they will also be available at our Rosewood centre in Southampton, our Beechwood centre in Birmingham, our Leewood centre in Leeds and our Canewood centre in Cardiff. Throughout 2012 we plan to introduce mini-paintball to all of our National Centres. During the day participants will use smaller guns and smaller paintballs so there is less energy when the ball hits them (thus meaning a softer impact).
Due to our ongoing efforts to further improve the overall safety of paintball events Delta Force has been approved by the UKPBA (United Kingdom Paintball Association) to be a provider of mini-paintball. This exciting activity is an excellent choice for children's birthday parties, family trips and school outings. Groups of any size are welcome; safety is our first priority and all children are carefully supervised throughout the day by our skilled marshalling staff. Delta Force Paintball has an outstanding safety record and an enviable reputation for organising birthday parties.
ARE YOU READY FOR THE CHALLENGE?
Registration forms are completed by every player on arrival, and parental consent forms must also be completed by players younger than 16. Delta Force staff will be on hand to help the children, but parents and/or teachers may find it saves time to download the parental consent forms from this website, and pre-complete them.
Little people filling-in the registration forms before their paintball event (Dad and Marshal helping).
Once registration has been completed it’s time to get suited up in the safety equipment and make sure that everything fits perfectly. As a parent you will not be alone, Delta Force personnel will be on hand to help, however we do recommend that 1 or 2 parents remain at the centre whilst the children play.
Trying-on all the kit before the games begin. Don't worry, everyone looks funny in the combat suits!
After all players are ready with their equipment the Centre Manager will muster everyone up to the stage for the safety brief. It’s essential that all children pay close attention to the safety speech, as this is where the Centre Manager explains the safety regulations, how to use the equipment and outlines the rules of the game. Marshals will patrol the edge of the audience while the Centre Manager is on stage delivering the safety brief. Delta Force takes safety very seriously with our 100% safety record, and as such parents often comment that Delta Force takes safety more seriously than any other paintball provider. All mini-paintball participants will receive a separate safety brief to other standard players – through this we can be certain that young participants receive more personal instructions and are 100% clear on all of the safety rules.
This is the time to pay attention. The speech doesn't last long but it's very important.
Immediately after the safety brief it’s time for the action to begin. All players will be specifically divided into teams with different coloured armour bands, and the Centre Manager will call upon each team based on these colours. Before players leave the base camp marshals will perform a ‘touch-check’ on the goggles of every player to ensure there is no chance of the goggles becoming dislodged or falling off of the player’s head. Delta Force is the only paintball provider to perform a ‘touch-check’ on every player and this is very likely to be one of the reasons why we have a 100% safety record. The Delta Force goggle-system fully encloses the head, thus meaning that it is impossible for the goggles to slip down or fall off – at Delta Force we take your vision and safety extremely seriously!
Delta Force staff 'touch-check' the goggles of every player, before every game. We take your safety very seriously.
The guns always stay outside the netted safe zone (basecamp). Marshals issue them at the start of every game.
All players are closely supervised throughout the day, and we pay particularly close attention to our younger guests.
At lunchtime we all break for a much needed Pizza!
