Walsall Football Club’s first team squad left the green grass of the Pallet-Track Bescot Stadium behind recently to take on a very different challenge – an afternoon of team-building paintball battles at NPF Bassetts Pole Adventure Park.
Split into two sides – Reds v Blues – the players, manager and coaching staff clashed across a series of woodland combat game scenarios, where tactics, communication, and teamwork were tested to the limit.
Each mission carried vital points and was designed to encourage communication, strategic thinking, and camaraderie – all vital skills for success both on and off the field.
After a string of fiercely contested games, it was the blue team that took the WIN, proving themselves sharp shooters in the woodland arena.
Individual honours were also awarded on the day:
Walsall FC now joins the ranks of Aston Villa, Fiorentina, Nantes FC, UK Athletics and the International Indian Cricket Team – all of whom have recently chosen NPF as their “centre of excellence” for professional, quality team bonding and morale-boosting events.
NPF events director, Mrs Kerry Mayo, said: “It’s been a pleasure to welcome elite sporting teams from across the UK and Europe this summer as part of their pre-season training tours or ahead of major sporting competitions.
“Here at NPF we take pride in offering a friendly, personal, bespoke service to event planners, PAs, and businesses – enabling them to deliver professionally run activities, meetings, and large-scale events for their colleagues and clients. We meet some fantastic people and enjoy making every event memorable!”
The event reinforces NPF’s reputation as one of the Midlands’ leading destinations for team-building, corporate events, and group activities. Just 30 minutes from Birmingham city centre, the 200-acre adventure park offers a unique environment where teams can connect, compete, and create lasting memories.
