Our mission is to get paintball started as a legitimate sport in high schools and middle schools across the country. All we need is the support of the people. Many schools won't allow us to start a team because they don't want to be the first. They want to find out if it can work in schools. Well if all schools have this attitude then how will we ever be able to get a team started? We need to prove to the schools that there is enough interest in the sport for it to get started. If you agree with this please sign.

Paintball is a legitimate sport which provides sportsmanship, physical activity, and to use both mind and body. This gives more opportunities to a larger group of students both male and female.

Paintball is just as thrilling as any other sport if not more. It's safer than most sports. It's a great stress reliever while having fun at the same time. I'd rather go to a paintball game than a basketball game any day!!!!

i beleive that paintball is as much a sport as basketball, football, and baseball. and i dont really see why schools wont include this as a sport. i looked at some statistics and paintball is a much safer and way more fun sport than basketball, football and baseball combined

Paintball is one of the best sports that is growing quickly. It requires more teamwork, honesty, and also in and also i believe to be the most physical sport. So I dont see what the problem is with getting it signed into High schools.

Paintball the worlds fastest growing extreme sport. You people say its's dangerous but it is not. Statistics have shown that it is safer than hockey, baseball, football, swimming, even jogging. It also teaches friendship, teamwork, honesty. It is also a very physical sport. More demanding than football and all the other previously listed sports.

Paint ball is one of the worlds fastest growing sports and is played by pro's. Why not put it in schools? It teaches teamwork,leadership and responsibility.

Many Junior ROTC programs have Marksmanship teams, which have been very successful in building traits such as focus, patience, and understanding the payoffs of consistent practice. Paintball is a sport that also involves physical activity, strategy, and the need to think fast. It can be a team sport, which works wonders for social development and building trust.
