Paintball birthday party??? 9-year old

[shives]

I've been playing for 20 years, so I'm not new to this.

My son has played once, a year ago.  He did alright, but there were a few tears after the first couple of hits.  He has been talking all year about having a paintball birthday party for his 9th.  Now, all of his friends are old enough for the local field.  This is not going to be a cheap party.  My wife is grumbling a little, but really wants to do something so as not to disappoint him.  Just looking for thoughts/suggestions/opinions.

Thanks,
Shives

Well I did my sons birthday but I think it was his 15th?

I had a bunch of pumps (Tracers, Diablos a Phantom or two and two PGP’s), on the Nelsons I used 200 round hoppers and 9 oz tanks. Nothing for noobs to worry about; pump and shoot. 200 paintballs lasted them forever. I didn’t get much trigger time, I was too busy hustling kids around and helping keep them on the up and up. We did it at jaegers in KC and ordered pizza for the lunch. It was a good time.
