uni's
- Thread starter smalltimeganster
- Start date
Someone may be able to give you a list.
But generally if you decide to study at a uni and they haven't got a team already you can start one yourself.
Where I studied, you needed 12 people to sign up for any club/society/team you wanted to start and all pay £3 membership. The students union would then give it the official stamp of approval and off you went.
You could put up posters, recruit more players, start contacting other unis for games, organise paintball trips etc.

I'm pretty sure I saw the University of Portsmouth team at the Euro Indoor earlier this year.
Also, 'Richard Kirke (DUPS Rocket) UK' is on the Durham University team (aren't u?) - 6th Element is it?
I know there's more too.

Oh yeah - they've got a ton in America. I believe they've actually set up an organisation just for 'College' level paintballers. I'm not sure that this is the site I'm thinking of, it looks kinda of amaturish but its got a pretty comprehensive list of about 88 American Uni's with paintball teams. Not too sure about british ones at the mo.

Stuck in revision land for a couple of weeks!
If mr "smalltimeganster" is wanting to know about actual team what play in tourneys, then AFAIK it's currently only Portsmouth, York, and occaisionally Durham who enter tourneys representing their uni.
As far as uni's with paintball club/societies goes, off the top of my head the following have/have had within the last couple of years* paintballing interests:
The above 3 obviously,
Exeter,
Bournemouth,
Lancaster (a couple of RDX go there I believe),
Lincoln may have somthing coming together,
Bath,
University of Kent (canterbury?),
UWE(university of west england in Bristol).
Reading always seem to be hovering around in conversations,
Like I say, this is just off the top of my head, so I may have missed a few out, made up some which have no interest in paintball. I anyone reading this goes to uni that I've missed out, then stick a post on here!
Gurney - dont you apoc lads have some vague link to a uni up your way that I've probably missed off the list?
If and when I find my old list of contacts, I'll edit up this post, either that or I'll send the current pompey pres Blonde Rich to stick something on this thread.
*I say that as I've been doing this uni paintball thing since I started uni in 97, so some of the clubs may have foldeed due to people doing what I seem unable to - graduating.

Well, Andy from the Outkasts attends APU (Anglia Poly), and he has set up a paintball society there from what I gather, but I think he may be the only memberOriginally posted by Flash-Bugout
