Paintball School trips in Ipswich
Paintball is a great activity for school days out, and at Skirmish Paintball games we can take school children from year 7 upwards.
Why choose paintball?
Apart from the fact that its great fun, and most kids have been dieing to play it for years.
Children who might not be the most sportiest child at school will rise to the challenge of paintball, for one unathletic child in a good position can hold up the sportiest member of the school, raising his esteem greatly, and possible spurring him on to be more athletic.
At Skirmish paintball games all the children will be involved at the start of every game, not standing watching while other members of the school are taking part, and we will keep the pace up to ensure they do not get bored.
Are paintball marshals have been trained to deal with school parties, and with the support of the teachers, will ensure that they have a safe and enjoyable day. Teachers often comment on how well we have handled the groups.
At Skirmish Paintball games we are happy to fit the activity around times that are suitable for the school, and often play games from 10.30 to 2, talk to the girls in the office to make the best arrangements for you.
Health and Safety
Paintball is often considered as a high risk sport, yes people will get injured, but to put it into context, sports such as football have a much higher risk of injury. At Skirmish Paintball games we have all the documentation you require for your risk assessment, please contact the office for a School Pack.
Should children be playing paintball and glorifying war? Many children play some nasty computer games these days, paintball brings them into the real world, not only can the paintball give you a good “wack”, but it bring home to youths how vulnerable they would be, and the comment of “That would have been my arm gone” or “I would have bipeen dead if that was real” are often heard.
All these things will happen as the children enjoy themselves, without them realising.
