UKPBA Aims
The UKPBA was established with the objective to:
- Create an umbrella organisation to act in the best interests of paintball from a player’s perspective.
- Have the activity of paintball recognised as a sport by the government. The Sports Council (the governing body responsible for sports in the UK) is yet to accept paintball within its definition of a 'sport'. This is something the UKPBA is seeking to challenge and rectify.
- Improve the standard of facilities and services found at British paintball centres.
- Bring paintball to the widest possible audience, by way of advertising, public relations and other promotional activities.
- Answer press and governmental enquiries about paintball. The UKPBA is uniquely placed to do this, having amongst its membership technical experts on paintball games (including leading players), legal experts and planning and health and safety consultants.
- Paintball operators and trade members join the list of UKPBA members and discuss business-related topics to remain at the forefront of the UK paintball industry.
