How old do you need to be to be in NPPL paintball?

Question

what age should you start playing paintball?

Answer 1

gotta have a social security card is all we were told...............

Answer 2

there is no age limit, I've seen 12 year old kids out on the field.  As long as you can wear safety equipment properly and aren't going to whine and cry when some guy puts 10 balls into your back on a runthrough, you should be fine to play.  If you are very young, I would suggest doing rookie xpsl or cfoa (depending on what region of the country you are in) before participating in full-blown NPPL tournaments.
