Despite a few obvious areas of resemblance, paintball is not war but a harmless and friendly game. As such, there are no protest songs questioning whether this sport is really any good for anything. But what exactly is it good for? There are several things for which paintball is excellent, and appreciating them can help newbies decide whether to give paintball a go and provide experienced players with new ways to use the sport to enhance their lives and those of their friends.
A serious hobby
Like any sport, paintball makes a great hobby and one you can potentially get really serious about. Because of the popularity of paintball for things like stag dos and birthday parties, a lot of people overlook its potential to become a regular pursuit. Some people absolutely love paintballing and can't wait until their next 'excuse' to arrange a game, but still never think about making it a regular hobby or even simply enjoying a game for its own sake instead of for a special occasion. In fact, like a lot of sports, paintball is a highly skilled pursuit and it takes a lot of time and practice to really hone this skills, find your play style, and get the most out of it. Between this and its sheer fun value, it lends itself extremely well to a role as a regular hobby - and this is something that the people who really enjoy it on special occasions may do well to consider.
A celebration
That's not to say that paintball isn't good as a one-off celebration, though. There's a reason it's so popular as an activity for stag nights, birthdays and the like. Though it takes a lot of skill and practice to get truly good, it is a lot more accessible than many comparably skilled sports and through cooperation it is possible for even the most inexperienced players to play a role in a team's efforts. It is exciting and quite unlike the sort of thing that most people normally get up to without being excessively daunting, and this makes it a great way to celebrate which is open both to experienced enthusiasts and to those who just want to try something new or have a one-off dose of excitement.
Developing teamwork skills
When paintball first rose to prominence in the UK, it was partly on the back of corporate events, because a number of companies recognised it made an excellent team-building exercise for everyone from general office staff to executive-level management. Paintball is most definitely a team game, and it arguably places an even greater emphasis on cooperation, joint tactics, and problem-solving than the majority of other team sports. It is therefore a great way to encourage a team to work more effectively together, and a fantastic way to encourage better joint problem-solving skills and the kind of closely-coordinated cooperation that can help deliver truly incredible results when it is employed back in the workplace.
