whats is the minimum age you can play paintball in England. Not your local site cos it differs(due to insurance reasons) but the youngest the LAW says you can be???

The Law states that you can play at any age, as long as you're supervised by a 'responsible person' over the age of 17. Same as using an air-rifle.

Most sites, however, won't let you play if you're under 12, du to insurance constraints.

yeah agree with that! we havent had anybody under the age of 12 and they were with an adult!

but is it not at the age of 16 you can play without an adult being present?

It depends on how you classify paintball guns. Toys, air weapons, guns. Other than legal requirments, you also have to concider what insurers will cover.
