Hmmm, lets think (based on todays crazy anti-gun, anti-paintball society).


  1. You use guns
  2. You shoot each other
  3. Its a war-like game
  4. It costs a fortune
You are not going to make a club like that at school, unless you happen to go to a private school with a pro-paintball OR idiot headmaster or a public school with a pro-paintball OR idiot principle.

Hehe, a kid over here got expelled from school because he played a game over the weekend, forgot to take his gun out of his car, LEFT IT ON HIS SEAT, and a security guard found it.

Hate to break it to you but A. The car was on school property and because B. Guns and weapons of any sort are not allowed on school property, C. He was expelled.

 you can advertise a after school paintball club, of course you won't be able to play it in the school grounds.

so in other words no you can't do that, it wouldn't work.

if it moves it becomes a target

and snipers don't exist in paintball!! get that in your heads people!!

Society as in America in general, and the mindset therein...

It's like I'm talking to 13 year olds...oh wait...

Our school has a club. We rock. You don't.

There was a good articile in May issue of APG....tried to find it on thier site but couldn't so I'll summarize it for you.

1.explain how paintball teaches life skills like discipline and integrety, also it teaches initiative, sportsmanship and team work.

2.Boys and girls are on an even playing field unlike most sports

3. Paintball encompasses physical and mental traits

4.  Violence Issue: Direct physical contact is not allowed unlike football where direct violence is is brought with every play.

5. Dangerous? Safer than most other sports. Insurance statistics show that 18 out of every 100 football players are sen't to the emergency room. A paintball player is sent to the ER .02 times per 1000 exposures(In other words you would get hurt once about every 500 games.

6. Image: paintball marker and firearm are completely diffrent. A gun was meant for killing and a paintball marker is meant for fun.

That is a basic summary..again i wish i could post a link to the actual article but couldn't find it....hope this helps. Good luck

Yo, my team and I started a paintball club at our high school. First we asked student council and they said okay and then went to a teacher that would like...lead/organize it, then we found Mr. Svendsen(the coolest teacher alive) and he said he'd do it and now we get together after school on Thursdays to plan for the weekend and we get like...50 people to play every weekend. Everyone is welcome that has their own equipment. Its been working smoothly and the school has no problem with it but we cannot bring our stuff onto school grounds.
I'm going to the darkside...
