Many people worry that our teenagers aren\u2019t getting enough exercise or fresh air. A great paintballing experience takes care of both of these things. Plus they\u2019ll be taking part in the best kind of exercise there is: the kind they don\u2019t even realise they\u2019re doing because they\u2019re having so much fun. It\u2019s definitely more fun than any shoot-em-up video game. And let\u2019s face it, in what other circumstances would it be acceptable, encouraged even, for your children to shoot their friends while getting covered in paint and mud.<\/p>\n<p>The reason it\u2019s ok here is because our sport promotes teamwork, communication and strategy, as well as moderate <a title=\"Tips for kids and excercise\" href=\"http:\/\/bit.ly\/aqTu2C\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">physical fitness<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>The object of a paintball game isn\u2019t to attack the enemy, it\u2019s to complete the mission, and the guys will have to devise a plan to do so and then work together to carry it out.<\/p>\n<p>This means your kids can let off steam and cut loose without getting into any trouble, and at the same time they\u2019re developing skills that will prove important to them in later life. We\u2019re not just teaching them how to shoot one another. We\u2019re teaching them how to work together, how to think creatively, how to communicate their ideas <strong><em>and<\/em><\/strong> how to shoot one another!<\/p>\n<p>Best of all, paintball is not a divisive activity. If a kid is overweight, a bit skinny or a bit clumsy, they may not be able to happily and successfully participate in conventional sporting events such as the regular team games promoted in school. This can lead to exclusion or even bullying.<\/p>\n<p>But Paintball can be played and enjoyed by anybody regardless of these things. Your kids will have a blast and feel part of the group, and that may be the most important outcome of all.<\/p>\n<p>Aa young guns package at \u00a319.50 per child includes:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>200 paintballs<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li>1 half days play<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li>Multiple missions<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li>Use of 1 semi automatic machine gun for duration of play<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li>Use of freshly laundered combat overalls for duration of play<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li>Experienced and uniformed marshals for duration of play<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>We offer these packages at Europe\u2019s busiest paintball sites and all of them are UKPSF registered, one of the reasons that we\u2019re currently the UK\u2019s number one choice for paintball events.<\/p>\n<p>We take health and safety very seriously at each of our sites.
