• 3 Team-Building Games for Your Corporate or Group Outing

    There are many different aspects at play that determine if your company and team are successful. One important aspect is how well the members of the company work together. This aspect can make a large difference. When the members of the team understand their job as well as where their coworkers are coming from, the entire group can find ways to become more successful.

    It is also important to take breaks. If you work too hard for too long you will likely burn yourself out. Then you won’t be as efficient at work and the company won’t be fulfilling its full potential. Scheduling a corporate outing at AC Paintball near Atlantic City, New Jersey can help you both strengthen your employee’s teamwork skills and give them a break. Below are three good team-building games you can play at AC Paintball to help you do so.

    Basic Speedball

    Speedball is one of the most common variations of paintball, is not the most common. It is the version used for paintball tournaments. Playing speedball is a good choice to start off your AC Paintball experience as it is one of the most basic forms of paintball. It can give your group a chance to get used to the basics of paintball if some have never played before. The point of the Speedball is simply to eliminate everyone from your opponents’ team before your entire team gets eliminated.

    Speedball is typically a fast game because you are in a race against the other team to eliminate players. This can help teach team members to think quickly and make quick decisions. If these lessons are taken away from the AC Paintball experience, your employees or team members may end up becoming more efficient in the workplace.

    Capture-the-Flag

    Capture-the-flag is another common game that most people have heard of. In this game, a flag is positioned at the center of the AC Paintball field at the beginning of the game. Once the game begins, the goal is to grab that flag and get it back to your team’s base. It may sound easy, but the elimination rules of basic paintball still apply. This makes things more difficult.

    Winning a capture-the-flag game takes strategy. Each team has to work together to form a plan, and then each team member has to fulfill their specific role. This is very similar to how most companies work. Everyone has their own responsibilities and has to work with other employees or departments to accomplish the company’s overall goal. Playing a few capture-the-flag games at AC Paintball is a great way to practice teamwork skills.

    Center-Flag-Push

    Center-flag-push is the opposite of capture-the-flag. The set-up is the same, but instead of bringing the flag back to your home base, you try to push it onto your opponents base. This is typically a bit more challenging than capture-the-flag. In capture-the-flag, you get to run back to your base where you have more of your teammates to help protect you. In center-flag-push you have to enter your opponents base where there are more opponents trying to eliminate you and fewer teammates to help you.

    Playing center-flag-push after a few games of capture-the-flag can help your employees practice their ability to adapt. Some jobs can get a bit repetitive. If something changes after an employee can get used to the same routine, it can be difficult for them to adapt. Playing both capture-the-flag and center-flag-push can help employees practice changing their mindset and adapting to different requirements.

  • How an Outing at AC Paintball Can Improve Your Company

    Have any coworkers that you would love to hit with a paintball? Looking for a way to spice up casual Friday with some color? AC Paintball in southern New Jersey offers a corporate outing package that can help improve your company by giving your workers a new challenge to overcome. Through team building and leadership exercises, your employees will learn more about each other while building stronger relationships.

    Leadership and Team Building

    Paintball is a team sport. This means, just like in a company, everyone has a role to play and if someone doesn’t do their part, the entire team either has to pick up that person’s slack or suffer the consequences. This is an important lesson for co-workers to learn. They learn that if someone is out due to illness or personal reasons, they may have to band together and work harder to keep the company’s productivity up.

    With teams, there are also leaders. Paintball teaches your managers and supervisors to take command of their team while teaching others to listen and contribute. On the other hand, you may also decide to switch roles to allow employees within your company to see the system from another perspective.

    Communication

    One of the most important keys to success in paintball is communication. If you don’t let your teammates know what your plans are, you can throw off the rest of the team and spark downfall. The same goes for a company. When a single employee decides not to communicate their plans, all of the other workers in line to finish a project will be thrown off and the quality and time management of the project may suffer.

    Paintball can also teach co-workers to watch each other’s back. In paintball, teammates learn to warn each other of opponents they may not see. This can translate to helping each other out with projects in the workplace. Employees will learn to fix mistakes they notice their co-workers making and help each other be successful. In the end, your employees will end up bonding and build new friendships that will bring your workers closer to create an efficient and successful company.

    Strategy

    In the workplace, strategizing can be important when you are organizing data, navigating a project or even just dealing with a difficult customer. In paintball players have to strategize how to be stealthy and choose their targets carefully. Not only that but they have to make decisions quickly and think on their feet. Paintball keeps players on their toes and this can translate to making faster and better choices in the workplace.

    Endurance

    Depending on which type of game, field, and time of year you choose, playing paintball in southern New Jersey takes endurance. Rain, snow or even just sun can be a challenge to players. In these conditions, whoever can overcome the distracting conditions the best and focus on the goal will be victorious. Weather conditions aside, just getting back up and trying again after you’ve been hit is also a valuable lesson.

    Stress Relief

    Paintball can be a great outlet for stress. Employees can release their pent up frustration by firing paintballs at their friends, boss and even annoying coworkers. Don’t worry about anyone getting too carried away, though, a referee is always provided to supervise the match and make sure players abide by the rules. If you feel a lot of your coworkers or employees have been frustrated or down lately, a field trip to AC Paintball in southern New Jersey may be the ticket to relieving the tension.

    Motivation

    Following the same routine day after day can make an employee feel like they are caught in an endless loop. When this happens, they lose motivation to perform well at their job. Taking your company to AC Paintball may be the test they require to boost their motivation and inspire them to improve their skills. Paintball challenges players, both mentally and physically and once your employees find their motivation again your company will improve as well.
