Our Goal
In addition to promoting airsoft as a sport, we hope to instill honor, integrity and sportsmanship into our students—whether they're on or off the playing field. Secondly, we want to teach them safety, for the benefit of themselves and for their fellow teammates. Lastly, we want to show them how teamwork and using skilled tactics and can work to their benefit when airsofting. As a well-trained and respected team member they will experience a more fulfilling and enjoyable day on and off the field.
As a parent, I have personally seen the benefits that airsoft has had on my own son. He no longer spends mindless hours playing video games, his grades have gone up, he's learned to evaluate and repair his own weapons, he's getting great exercise, he discusses strategy with his teammates to work together to win adjectives while paying airsoft. And because I participate with him—our relationship is much better.
Experts, like Lt. Col. David Grossman, have touted the advantages of playing airsoft over video games, and the positive effect it can have on our children. Grossman noted that he believes that games like airsoft differ from video games in that they are treated like a sport and the intention is to never hurt your opponent.
