Planning a day out at Junior Paintball is always exciting, and one of the most common questions we receive from parents is: “What should my child wear?” Ensuring your child is dressed comfortably and safely means they can focus on the action and enjoy an unforgettable experience on the field.
Here’s your complete guide to what to wear and bring along for a Junior Paintball adventure, straight from our official checklist and staff recommendations.
What to Bring on the Day
To make your day run smoothly, we recommend having a few essentials packed and ready. Ensure your child is wearing closed-toe shoes, such as running shoes or boots, to prevent injury. These provide proper protection and a secure grip on the paintball field, helping to prevent slips and minor bumps during play. Sandals, slides, or open footwear aren’t allowed for safety reasons.
Dress your child in comfortable, old clothes that you don’t mind getting dirty. Long-sleeved tops and long pants are your best bet for covering skin and offering an extra measure of comfort and safety. Loose, well-fitted clothing is ideal, as it keeps your child protected from the occasional paint splat while still letting them move freely and join in all the action.
Bringing a refillable water bottle is a must. Paintball is a fast-paced and energetic activity, so staying hydrated with regular breaks is crucial, especially during the warmer months. Don’t forget to sign your waivers before arriving, as completing these online speeds up check-in, so more time can be spent on the field. If you’re celebrating a birthday or special occasion, bringing along a cake and snacks is a great way to keep energy levels high and the fun going strong between games.
Optional items include a full change of clothes for after the session. Kids love getting muddy, and having a clean, dry outfit for the journey home always makes things easier. Families often pack sunscreen and a sunhat for spectating, while gloves or extra padding can add even more comfort and are also available on-site for your convenience.
What’s Included at Junior Paintball
Junior Paintball provides all the essentials for a safe, entertaining, and action-packed session. Every player receives specially designed safety gear. The paintball mask is a standoutasoffering full-face, eye, and ear protection, so kids can fully immerse themselves in the game without worrying about stray paintballs. Our masks are designed for comfort and stability, meaning your child can run, duck, and crawl without the mask slipping or fogging.
Each player is also equipped with a lightweight, low-impact paintball marker that’s easy to handle for younger participants. This type of marker is specially designed to lower the impact without reducing the fun, ensuring that kids of all ages can enjoy an exciting, confidence-boosting game. Coveralls are available as an optional extra, providing an additional layer of protection against stray splatters and keeping everyone more comfortable for multiple rounds of play.
One of the most exciting features at Junior Paintball is that unlimited paintballs are included for every session.

There’s no stress about running out, which makes for a relaxed, fun, and inclusive atmosphere for all skill levels.
Our trained and friendly staff are always on hand to supervise the action, run creative missions, and help guide new players through their first games. They ensure that safety rules are consistently followed and provide helpful tips, allowing kids to learn and build new skills along the way.
Weather Tips
Paintball is a sport for all seasons, so a few simple adjustments to clothing help ensure maximum comfort whatever the day brings. When it’s warm and sunny, dress your child in light, breathable clothing underneath their protective gear. Applying sunscreen to exposed skin is essential, and wearing a sunhat while spectating helps keep everyone cool.
If wet weather is likely, pack a lightweight raincoat and an extra pair of socks and shoes to change into later. Our sessions go ahead rain or shine, and many kids discover that playing paintball in the rain is even more funasjust be prepared with the right kit.
During cooler months, layering a base layer under play clothes adds warmth without bulk. Look for fabrics that wick moisture away from the skin to help keep kids comfortable as they run around.
