Have you always wanted to participate in paintball but have been told that you are too young? Have no fear—Paintballing Delta Force Paintball is here to help with the introduction of MiniBall, a specially designed paintball game appropriate for players as young as 8 years old.
Young people were forced to watch on as their older friends and siblings enjoyed the fast-paced, rapidly-evolving sport of paintball because of state restrictions minimizing the possession and use of firearms.
When Delta Force Paintball realized that so many kids were eager to participate but were losing out, they began negotiating with the appropriate regulatory organizations to find a means to allow a younger player base to participate in this well-liked pastime. In order to do this, and following numerous conferences, Delta Force Paintball invented MiniBall in Australia.
With custom-designed pump action paintball guns that use a powerful spring mechanism to propel the MiniBalls with surprising effect, MiniBall is a safe yet thrilling alternative to the traditional compressed air charged paintball game. Paintball technology has advanced significantly since its inception. MiniBall players enjoy the same full-sized play fields, but with smaller paintball guns and professional supervision. They also follow specially crafted rules of conduct that are intended to maximize their enjoyment, safety, and fun. They are fully equipped with protective paintball combat gear so they may enjoy the entire paintball game in addition to safety.
MiniBall paintball games tend to be very popular for family outings, team-building exercises, sporting events, school field trips, and not forgetting kid’s birthday parties.
Our highly experienced marshalling teams will give full supervision, encouragement, and direction during a MiniBall event, giving parents the choice of taking part with their children or just watch the fun unfold. Parents, take note: in the heat of battle, you will be more of a target if you dare to take on the challenge and go up against the kids.
Never hear the excuse “you’re too young to play paintball” again—any age may enjoy an exciting day of paintballing with Delta Force’s MiniBall program.

Cross fit, of F45, kick boxing, they all lead to #gains.
How do they compare to a game of action and strategy?
Our friends over at health fitness revolution know all about getting healthy, and they’ve realised a great way to get fit and have fun: Paintball.
Here’s what they have to say about the health benefits of paintball.
It’s an intense game, considering the fact that you’re armed with a mask, ammunition and a paintball marker, but paintball is actually a fun, interactive way to build teamwork and get some exercise. Of course, the paintball gun is loaded with gelatine shells filled with a type of paint that marks a person or object when hit, so it’s an experience that will leave you covered in colour!
Samir Becic, 4 times Number 1 Fitness Trainer in the world and HFR’s Top 10 Health Benefits of Paintball:
Adds variety to regular routine: Paintball is a great activity for those who do not have time to hit the gym or want to do something active with friends. It’s also a great way to shake things up and get an intense exercise routine outside of your normal workout. If you’re looking for an alternative activity to escape the monotonous motions of a treadmill, paintball allows players to experience a full range of movements like running, climbing, ducking and tip-toeing behind enemies.
Full body workout: Paintball involves crawling, diving, sprinting, dodging and shooting. Because the game is so fast paced and strategic, many players get so caught up in the action they don’t even realize how the body is benefiting. People who have difficulty sticking to a workout routine often claim motivation and boredom as the primary reasons. Paintball offers participants a more enjoyable way to tone up their body without ever having to even think about it as exercise.
Increases endurance: When you play paintball you experience an incredible cardiovascular workout that boosts your endurance levels because of the extended amount of time spent on the field.
Increases strength: Paintball will require you to be fast while lugging around a paintball gun and with all the safety gear. The main areas strengthened during paintball are the legs from running and squatting, the arms from shooting, and the core for stabilization of the body with all the equipment.
Increases interpersonal skills and self-confidence: Paintball is primarily a team sport, which requires some amount of strategy and execution that can be done only when all the players work together as a team. It promotes team spirit and can also improve your leadership skills. Tense situations in the game often bring out the best in many players and boost their self confidence.
Good for weight loss and overall health: Needless to say, paintball also aids in weight loss. The intense exercise gained from a session of paintball can improve sleep cycles and boost metabolism. Intense workouts also result in the release of endorphins that elevate your mood. Apart from burning more calories, regular exercise through paintball also reduces risk of heart diseases, blood pressure and depression.
Major stress relief: Playing a rough game of paintball is one of the best ways to vent out your frustration without risking hurting others. Sometimes, venting your anger in the game can also help you improve your skills as a paintballer. The endorphins released during intense exercise also eliminate mental stress and bring a sense of calm.
Promotes teamwork: Good teamwork is essential in paintball – your team must work together to make strategies and plans, and then be able to coordinate them. If you’re lacking a bit of teamwork in your office, why not arrange a day out with your colleagues and put yourselves to the test?
It’s healthy to be outdoors: Working out outdoors actually boosts your mood, outlook, focus and immunity. According to a study from the University of Michigan, group nature walks are linked to enhanced mental health and positivity, as well as significantly lower levels of depression and feelings of stress. A study from Glasgow University showed that people who walked, biked, or ran in nature had a lower risk of poor mental health than people who worked out indoors.
It’s fun! Finally, who can say that having a bit of fun isn’t one of the major health benefits of paintball? The rush of adrenaline sparked by just running around and shooting opponents with paintballs brings back the inner child in us. Full of laughter and excitement, paintball makes a truly brilliant day out with friends.
There you have it! Paintball is an awesome way to get fit, and have fun doing it. Who knows, if you have a friend you want to help on their fitness journey, maybe paintball is the place to start?
A bucks day he’ll never forget.
It’s almost your mate’s special day.
He’s gonna tie the knot soon.
And you’re the man who is meant to plan the best send off possible.
What better way to send your stag off than to dress him up and send him out with a paintball gun and a few of his best mates?
Paintball is the perfect activity to get the boys geared up for a night of dubious choices and some stories you’d rather forget.
Here’s how a day at Delta Force Paintball looks for a bucks party.
You can book by calling one of our event coordinators at any time of the day. They are available 24/7 and will help you plan everything to give your stag the best send off possible.
On the day you’ll arrive and get kitted up by our marshals. Here’s the chance to get you stag all dressed up in one of our Onesies, or you could all wear your own costumes. We recommend you all buy a group pack (you don’t want to run out of paintballs when the stag is on the loose!). Don’t forget to let the marshals know who the guest of honour is; they’ll give him some special treatment!
From here you’ll have a safety briefing, and then it’s time for battle!
Of course you’ll have breaks in between games, where you can rehydrate (sorry, no alcohol), and refuel for the next match. You can order pizzas for the group for lunch, or bring your own food. We recommend bringing plenty of water; you don’t want the stag getting dehydrated!
Your action packed day will see your squad battle it out in pyramids, black hawk helicopters and sniper towers, and will be a day the stag will never forget.
