Corporate Paintball Events

Paintball is quickly becoming one of the nation’s most popular corporate hospitality events.

This is largely because, while extremely fun, and a chance to break out of the typical working environment, paintball actually encourages many qualities and skills necessary to a thriving business. This exciting action game promotes team building, communication, organisation and strategy.

A paintball event will consist of a number of games, each with its own mission, in which everybody works as a team. The two opposing teams develop strategies for their respective briefs and then attempt to execute them as a group. Paintballs are used to eliminate enemy players and thus reduce their overall contingent and hamper their chances of completing a mission. The key to winning the vast majority of paintball games is not a gung-ho, free-shooting offensive, but methodical planning, tactics and team work.

Because of this, paintball events are seen as being very beneficial to your company, as well as tremendously exciting and morale boosting.

It is difficult to find an activity in which every member of a varied workforce will happily participate. Paintball is a wonderful leveller as every individual can take part on almost equal terms, regardless of age, size or gender. The degree of skill involved is not as specific as other sports, such as football or golf. Nor is a high level of fitness crucial.

This means that your team gain the opportunity to connect with members of the organisation they may not previously have had the opportunity to, or see a more relaxed side of those that they have.

The majority of paintball arenas are outdoor, but there are some indoor facilities available around the country. Paintball, however, is not greatly affected by adverse weather conditions and your event will continue as planned but for extremely bad weather, which is deemed to be hazardous by the site officials.

Paintball venues are divided into gaming zones. The amount of gaming zones, and the nature of the games carried out within them varies from one site to the next.

Because of the sport’s growing popularity in the corporate sector, an increasing number of facilities offer meeting or conference areas. This means that an exhilarating paintball battle can provide the perfect tonic to a pressing business engagement.

Contrary to some people’s beliefs the shot of a paintball marker is infrequently painful, but the anticipation of the hit produces adrenaline and heightens the sense of excitement and adventure during the game.

Whichever site is chosen to host your event, a great emphasis will be placed on the safety of your team. Expert safety marshals are employed at every venue and oversee all of the thrilling paintball games carried out.

Paintball markers, masks and overalls are provided as standard while certain venues may also offer additional protective clothing. Lunch is also catered for full day event packages.

Whatever the nature or size of your business, a corporate paintballing event is the perfect way to boost morale and encourage values that could have a positive impact upon your business. You may even get the chance to shoot your boss!
