College paintball? - UK

[Bunker_the_wolf]

I don't know if this is the right place to put this but, does the UK have a college paintball association or equivalent?

If so i'll have to run it by my college, we do need to do more sports stuff...and we have a couple of grand to spend on sports when i go back to college ^^, so hopefully we can a paintball team up and running but i think we would need to enrole in a college paintball association/club first...after the initial convincing of the finance department...yay...

Also if there are any college teams in norfolk please mention it here.

I dont know of any college ones tbh but i know universities have teams and so there must be a way of reconigsing the sport... probably best through the PSF

Off the top of my head I can think of 11 uni pb clubs that I know will be fielding tourney teams this academic year:

• Aberdeen
• Aberystwyth
• Birmingham
• Coventry
• Gloucestershire
• Leeds
• Loughborough
• Portsmouth
• Southampton
• Teesside
• West of England

And there are plans to introduce several new clubs/universities to tourney ball this season.

Well guys i am in college, so that makes things a bit awkward for me ^^; i'm glad to see there is a good sized uni scene at the moment and i will have to keep that in mind when/if i go to uni. Thanks for your help so far!
