Paintball can teach and help individuals in many aspects about life, character building being one as it
encourages problem solving and decision making.

The games played demand thought to win, the whole team must work together otherwise they will loose. Plans must be made on the spot, calculated risks taken, guessing what the enemy will do....

As kids and especially teenagers know everything, paintball will show them their personal limitations and will force them to work within that circle otherwise they will soon get eliminated from the game. We all know that computer games do teach hand and eye coordination however, what it does not teach is social interaction, leadership, coordination, and teamwork in the real world. Paintball can certainly get people to communicate, help to remove chips and attitude problems as their own ability will be shown to be much less that they believed.

One of the best examples how paintball and other activities we offer can help is when we had a number of kids from a local institution, all arrived with bad attitudes. We believed that the day was going to be a nightmare, and was rather hoping that the day would end very quickly - it was a tournament with six games to be played, it was going to be a long day.
  

Once we got them all out we explained the first game to them very quickly, and got them playing. Once the game had finished we noticed a massive change... What a complete and immediate transformation... They were all talking and engaging with each other, they were laughing and all were eager to get back out and shoot each other in the next game!

There was only one who went back with the chip on her shoulder - all the others had had them removed!

This was a great day, and we were all on a high - the kids loved it, they were happy, not fighting and not arguing but buzzing with adrenaline. One of the kids that had given us major grief at the beginning of the day even came up to us and apologised! This is one of the best paintball days that we have ever had.

Paintball is a great sport that not only is fun to play but can help in getting people to work together to a productive end. Teamwork, character building, leadership will be shown by all and with a few really shining out during the course of the days play.

If you have a company or organisation that would like to organise a tournament with Sudden Impact Leisure please telephone Fiona on 0870 777 5909 to discuss your requirements. We are sure that you will have a great day and will want to come back again and again because of the improvements in attitudes and characteristics of people for the better.
