The truth is that the insurance companies do not specify an age limit ie. there is no age limit. This may sound strange but is is to protect the site from anyone lying about their age.
The insurance companies do not recommend that anyone under 16 plays. This is for a claim point ov view. In a court situation, it does not matter how many signs you have or how many times you warn a player to keep their goggles on, according to the courts an under 16 year old cannot be expected to understand instructions.
You know as well as I do that there are 30 year olds that cannot understand instructions, but that is the stand taken.
We take players at 14, but give them V-Force Shield goggles (the ones with the chin strap making it difficult to take them off) and body armour.
Hope this is of interest
