    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.

  • Tournament Style Paintball in South Jersey

    10658860_496608440479653_4244368542241473132_oAlthough capture the flag style woodsball still remains the classic paintball game, speedball and hyperball style are quickly gaining in popularity. This is due in part to the recent increase in paintball leagues and tournaments such as the Paintball World Cup and other Paintball Sports Promotion (PSP) events.

    If you have played woodsball for a while and are looking to try something new, speedball is the perfect option. Or perhaps you are interested in joining a paintball league and want some experience with tournament style play. AC Paintball hosts a speedball and hyperball field for all interested players across southern New Jersey and beyond.

    How Does Speedball Differ from Woodsball?

    Let’s start with an overview of speedball for newer players that may not be familiar with the style. Most likely, your first paintball game ever was played capture the flag style in a woods field. It probably included a high amount of players on two teams spread across a large wooded field. The basic idea is simple: Take out as many opponents as you can (without getting shot out yourself) while attacking or defending a base camp.

    Speedball is played with the same basic premise: take out as many opponents as you can without getting shot out yourself. However, it takes place on a much smaller scale and without base camps. Speedball fields are both very compact, open spaces filled with obstacles and bunkers. Tournament style play is even more strategic, intense, and action-oriented than classic play, requiring quicker reflexes and quality teamwork. You can expect to use more paint on a speedball field, but games will take much less time. Hyperball is identical to speedball except that it uses a smaller field and smaller teams.

    Affordable Speedball and Hyperball Paintball Games in South Jersey

    Our speedball field is tournament-standardized and accommodates 5 to 40 players. Obstacles include air bunkers, drop tank carrier military bunkers, giant spools, and barrels. Bunkers are frequently rearranged and swapped so players can return for a unique experience every time.

    Our hyperball field is the ultimate in paintball action and accommodates 2 to 40 players. It’s small enough to play 1-on-1! Bunkers include corrugated plastic pipes, large wooden spools, and barrels. Obstacles on this field are also frequently rearranged for a different playing experience each season.

  • How to Start or Join a College Paintball Club

    dualsideshot

    College is the perfect time to join a paintball club. Whether you’ve been playing since you were a kid or are looking to try something new, paintball can be a great way to get involved on campus. You’ll stay active, have fun, and make a ton of friends at your school. There’s never a dull moment when you’re playing paintball!

    Joining a Collegiate Paintball Team or Club

    Look on your university’s website, post in your school’s Facebook groups, or ask around to find out if your school has a paintball team or club. Contact the captain/president to find out how you can get involved.

    Do they hold tryouts or can anyone join? Do they accept new members any time during the semester or only during the start? If not, ask if you can come check out a practice or tournament and let them know you’re interesting in joining as soon as you can.

    Even if you can’t play right away, there are probably other ways you can get involved. Maybe they need an equipment guy or help on the business end of the team, like balancing the budget. If they are an established club, they probably hold events you could go to during the semester to get to know the players better. The wait will also give you time to improve your paintball game. Check out a local paintball field during walk-on hours and play to develop your skills.

    Starting a Collegiate Paintball Team or Club

    If your school doesn’t have a paintball team, why not start one? This will be a much larger time commitment than joining an established team, so make sure you’re ready. Starting a paintball team from scratch is a lot like starting a business, so you’ll definitely gain some valuable skills and experience.

    You’ll want to pay attention to a few main areas to make your team successful: organization, leadership, recruitment, finances, and marketing. Doing all of this alone can be difficult, so find other students who are willing to help. A core group of people who are interesting in leading the paintball initiative together will be more likely to succeed. Your team members don’t necessarily need to be friends or people you already know. One of your goals should be to meet new friends and bring people together who have a common interest. Put up flyers around campus or post in university Facebook groups to find other students that want to grow paintball at your school.

    Check with your school for specifics, but generally starting a club is easy: you’ll first need a list of 5-10 students interested in joining the club. Fill out the proper paperwork and maybe give a brief presentation about your club, and you are good to go.

    Once you are officially recognized by your university as a club or team, you can start playing in collegiate paintball tournaments. Now that you have a better idea of how to join or create a paintball team, get to it! Then get out on the field and have some fun.
