highschool paintball

Good luck, but you have to realize that:

1.) The school will NOT pay for anything. (already stated multiple times)
2.) The school will NOT let you use their gym for you to mess up and ruin the basketball court.

yea i see...

so they dont pay for annything. understood.

there is a field that is not in use at the moment... we could probably set up an airball field there. i would also refer the the gun as a "marker" not a gun... lol.

it would be sweet to have a 5 man airball field that uses reballs. i also live in the neighborhood right next to the school... i could practice annytime i want! :-)

annyone else have an idea?

He lives in Texas, I thought they encouraged firearm ownership in school

Though I do know that the boyscout groups that come to the field to play do so as a "non boyscout" activity as the organization frowns (read forbids) it as a sponsored activity "due to insurance reasons"

Very funny Lohman, It's not like all texans walk around with a 6 shooter and ride to work on a horse. (just me)...not really

Master_Alexander,

I think the point that the other guys are tring to make is that you're not taking into consideration the fact that insurance and liability will disallow the school from even considering letting you use school grounds for paintball training. Even if they wanted to, they couldn't. Their insurance carriers wouldn't let you.

Secondly, public schools are so under-budgeted as it is that there is almost no chance that your proposal for funding would even make it to a lower budget committee. If there's not enough money to pay teachers reasonable wages, there is definitely not enough money to pay for a few kids to play paintball.

Finally, trying to form a paintball TEAM is not going to happen because there needs to be an established High School competitive league in order for the school to sanction the name team. Forming a club which goes to play paintball at the local field, however, is a completely reasonable endeavor. Just remember, you're not going to be allowed to keep your gear in the school. That's a big risk for the school to take.

Sorry that the other guys couldn't quite get it out into words. It's not that I don't want you to have a team, but it's simply not plausible or possible.

we should change our statement:

no PUBLIC school would fund a paintball team.

Mansfield High!

JK that was gay

[RingOfScale]

Really? Thats pretty coo ... if yah truly managed to get a public high school to help fund a paintball team, I'd like to talk to you about it. I live in a pretty rich area (Read: Silicon Valley) and our public schools are still like "we have no $$$!!!!" so I highly doubt they would do it...

But if you made it work maybe there is hope...

maybe i could tell my high school to use their hockey rink to play pball in in the summer when the ice is melted. the place isnt touched for a few months, why not play some pball in there? i mean they already have the hockey boards and glass, just attach the netting to the glass like we do anyways behind the goals and stuff, but all the way around the rink?

[RingOfScale]

your high school has an ice rink ?!?!?! geez, where do u go ?!?!

-rIng

[tippmannsniper-]

no its a public school, we hold practices at a local indoor feil, i go Libertyville high school dis. 70

[mag88888]

ringofscale: our school is the biggest in our state of vermont, vermonts tiny so i dont know if about 1600 students is big compared to high schools out of vermont. in the whole school counting EVERYONE we have 1900-2000 people. yes we have an ice rink next to our school, football field, soccer fields, lots of sports stuff. our school is extremely competitive to sum sports up. but why not use the rink when ice is melted? make a donation fund or something. our school does have alot of money though, i think. i mean, everyone one of our classrooms has a tv built into it so we can "watch" the announcements and other stuff on the tv.

EJHS is not going to let you use the hockey rink, bro. Believe me.
