How do I make paintball more fun for my nephew?

November 7th, 2012 Leave a comment Go to comments

My nephew is 9 and I’m trying to get him into the sport. I just introduced it to him and let him shoot some targets and stuff. He enjoyed it but it grew boring for him really quick. So what can I do to make it more fun for him?

Mitch, it does not sound like you really introduced him to paintball. Shooting at targets does get boring. But actually playing the game is totally different. Try taking him to a paintball park that allows 9 year olds and let him play with some other newbies, preferably kids and let him try it out.

Not all boys are into guns, or paintball type games. A lot of boys love the action and excitement and the thrill involved, but for other boys, thats just not their thing.

    Take him to a field and let him see actual games. However, don’t be discouraged if he doesn’t act as interested as you, he is 9 after all. Kids have short attention spans.
