Rank Noob looking for a team/mentor

[Xess Dx]

Having discovered Airsoft in 2009 doing Zombie shoots, I did one field event in 2010 and discovered a: my Glock replica was not gonna work for field battles (looking at getting a new AEG), and b: field battles are a ton of fun.

I'm looking to get myself and my step-daughter (13) into the sport, and hoping to find a team in the Portland/Bethany/Beaverton area we can train with.

Contact me at seportlander@gmail.com, and I look forward to joining the local airsoft community.

Welcome to the sport, sir. I may not be as much help as most of the people on here but I hope I can help. If you have any questions feel free to ask.

You don't need team to get out and play, pick an event and go. Once you find a team who's playing style you like or make some friends then look at joining/forming a team.

[Tombstone]

Welcome to the game. Like Pacman said, your best bet is going to be hitting a few Skirmishes and OP's and deciding which team you want to join, rather then just letting somebody snatch you up like a gradeschool kickball game.
Through fighting alongside people you'll quickly learn who you work well with, who you dont, and who is going to be on their best behavior around your 13 year old daughter.

Check us out, we have a few Father/Son groups on the team, Train regularly and play all the time. Its a hell of a commitment, but if thats what your looking for, feel free to drop us a dime.

Come out to camp R&R for crisis Korea march 9-10. Gonna be a lot of good people out there. We always welcome newbies into the group

Thank you for the replies and support!!

Other than the calendar on this site (which seems pretty thin, or does it fill as the year goes on?) are there other places to find out about events/practices/skirmishes?

While I have no problem making a fool of myself in the name of fun, practice makes perfect, and I'd love to get some pratice in and maybe get a few pointers as well.

Thoughts/ideas?

It is true that the calender is very thin at the moment, i personally plan on putting something together for next month. Gotta fill that thing up with some games.

Joining a team is not the only option 2 person teams work quite well and are harder to detect. As far as training goes you could join a team or learn just by playing like I did.
