Mission
Speedball is a sport that requires and develops several skills, including communication, teamwork and motor skills in addition to physical fitness. These are interesting skills to acquire not only for the field of work, but also for everyday life.
We then want to make it more accessible to allow young people aged 14 to 17 to develop these skills while developing friendships united by the same passion and created through the pleasure of playing together.
Young people registered in the program will then be able to come and try the sport by participating in training and playing a few games for free. The equipment, including the rifle, mask, air canister and bullets, will be loaned to him on site for the day.
People 18 years and older who also want to try speedball can do so, but must rent the equipment.*
- It should be noted that during recruitment periods for the team, applications from young people who have participated in the initiation program will be prioritized over others without experience. –
*Although it is not recommended, young people under the age of 14 can also benefit from the initiation program with the agreement of a parent/guardian.
Communication
During a game of speedball, players must be in constant communication to be able to target opposing players. Each teammate occupies a different position and good communication is necessary to ensure that everyone succeeds in playing their role to help the team win.
Teamwork
As mentioned previously, in speedball, each player has their own role and is normally assigned to them based on their strengths. It is important that everyone takes ownership of their role and the team's strategy so that the team can work cohesively and ensure victory.
Motor skills
Speedball is a sport that requires dexterity, coordination and good spatial-temporal reasoning skills. Indeed, to be able to move through the bunkers while shooting the enemy and avoiding being hit in turn, you must be able to be fast and analyze your environment effectively.
Physical fitness
One of the best advantages of speedball is that it gets you moving while having fun! Running, jumping, diving, crawling through bunkers and dodging bullets, all under the rush of adrenaline that gives a feeling of euphoria, there is nothing more motivating to stay active!
