Why don't youhave a paintball club? ITs popular, and is way more safe then ANY other sport, adn thats been proven by the National Safety Council.

You'll have better luck starting one in High School then you will Middle School. Maybe you should just hold off a year or so till you're there.

I just want something that has to do with school to be fun, but if we did a signup thing then i would probably get a bunch of blindshooting noobies.

thats funny how bowling and golfing is more dangerous than paintball. i mean, how do u get injured in golfing??? i guess you could get hit by a stray golf ball or pull a muscle or something.

i haven't came across a paintball club in middle school. high school you would have better luck with as brian has said. its useless really, its not like they're going to pay for your jerseys and such. usually an arena may have a high school tourney or something along those lines which is fun to enter with a bunch of friends, but i haven't seen a middle school tourney before.
