How to organise a group paintball day with Delta Force
Bringing friends, family or colleagues together for a day of paintball takes a little planning, but it is a great way to enjoy an outdoor adventure as a team. From choosing a date to getting everyone booked in, a few simple steps can help you organise a memorable group day out at Delta Force.
Ready to get your team together? Here are some practical tips to help you spread the word, coordinate your group and prepare for your paintball event:
1. Talk to people. In order to generate the greatest ‘buzz’ about paintballing, we have found that it really helps to talk to as many people as possible about it. Share the details with friends, family and colleagues so everyone has the chance to join your team.
2. Party animals. In most circles of friends and workplaces there are a few known ‘livewires’ – people with magnetic personalities that are always up for anything – get these people involved in creating some excitement for the day of paintball.
3. Posters. Put them up on your notice board at work.
4. Texts. Send out some texts and ask people to pass it on to other people that might be interested in a day of outdoor adventure.
5. Emails. Just like texts, everyone has an email address and it is a great way to spread some of the excitement and organise your paintball event.
6. Gather entry fees early. Once people have paid you their £10 (OK, £9.99) they are definitely coming. Until that time they are nothing more than ‘maybes’ – no matter what they say!
7. Deadline. Set an early deadline by which people have to have paid you their £10 (you can always extend it a bit). If people commit early then they are less likely to drop out owing to other commitments.
8. Choice of date. We can always change the date of the event if you find that a lot of people can’t make the date you have set.
9. Excuses. A lot of people think paintball hurts. The truth is that it can, but not at Delta Force. We provide fantastic and unique protective equipment including goggles that cover the entire head, custom coveralls with padded collars, and body armour!
10. Quality. Tell everyone how the event will be held at Delta Force. Wayne Rooney and the entire Man U football team used us recently, as did John Terry and the Chelsea FC team – they chose us because, well, we are the best! We have top of the range equipment and amazing game zones – things like double-decker buses, aircraft, tanks and giant stone pyramids.
11. Fun. Let everyone know how much fun this is going to be. Friendships are forged ‘under fire’, heroes (and cowards) will emerge and you and all of your mates will be talking about it for months to come.
With a little preparation, you can bring your group together for a memorable paintball event at Delta Force. Gather your friends, family or colleagues, agree on a date and explore our UK paintball centres to find a venue for your day out. Check the current package options before booking, then get ready to enjoy the action together.
