WELCOME TO UNITED KINGDOM PAINTBALL ASSOCIATION
The UKPBA aims to improve the standard of the facilities and services found at all United Kingdom paintball centres, to further promote the game to broader audiences and to develop standards that ensure the paintball experience is a safe and memorable one.
What is the UKPBA
The United Kingdom Paintball Association (UKPBA) is a non-profit-making association dedicated to supporting and promoting paintball in the UK. Established in 1989, it has supported the sport for more than three decades. As of 2026, UKPBA reports that its wider membership and player community has exceeded 500,000 people, including current and former players. The association works with venues, trade members, suppliers and players to promote good practice, safety, clearer customer information and responsible operation.
Reducing the National Minimum Age for Paintball
Minimum-age requirements vary between venues and game formats. In 2026, UKPBA encourages operators to publish clear age limits, equipment details and supervision requirements so parents and organisers can choose a suitable session.
UKPBA 5-star Paintball Centres
With paintball increasing in popularity, we want the public to know exactly what they will receive when they visit a paintball centre. There are vast differences in the quality of paintball centres in the UK and that’s why we’ve devised a system that issues 5-star ratings to the best paintball centres in UK.
