Let me know when you are ready to speak to the school administration. If it is in the Portland area, I'd be happy to speak to them.

Contradicting to what everyone else says on here, I say it MAY be possible. For me it is right at the moment in our AFJROTC program.

However, it's getting school sponsored, so unless it isn't, Hell no.

Actually, I just realized (with help from carbonfibreguy), what is the POINT to affiliating a team with your school? It's highly doubtful/impossible that you'll get sponsored, especially in middle/high school.

I like my school, kids carry real guns. :badgrin:
That's the best thing to brag about or, rather, mention at all on the internet.

I'm not your mate, kid. I'm talking about you getting expelled. Statements like that can be construed as threats or admissions of violence. All someone would need is the phone number for your local police or your school.

This.

But I'll elaborate on it. Schools don't like to do things that rock the boat. They like to keep things middle of the road. Safe little cocoons that parents can wrap their children up in. Schools take pride in being "safe" places (I laugh at any school who thinks they are a "safe" place...). Endorsing a club that uses realistic weapons to simulate combat goes against all logic school administrators have. This activity to them represents muder, death, Columbine, KKK, Nazi'ism, race wars, drugs, sex, and a myriad of other things that can cause harm (physical/emotional/reputation) to the students, and the school itself.

The words "airsoft gun" are never associated with toys to those who don't know/don't understand what they do. They see the word GUN and automatically assume the worst. Yes, this is a horrible way to think, but alas, it's the way that is prevalent in today's older population. While many have tried to change these views, very few have succeeded.

Airsoft has found the perfect place for it to thrive: out in the forest, away from populated areas. Let's leave it out there, so that it can flourish on it's own, and not be dragged down in a miserable mass of school administrators, reporters, and congressmen.

This idea would never fly in a public school system especially if it had a 14 year old like strikerz trying to spearhead it. Your recent comments regarding veterans and others shows you need a lot more growing up to do before anyone should lend you a hand let alone take you seriously.

A quote tunnel is forming! :D

Anyways, I don't see a need for affiliation with the school. Most of our team goes to the same high school, but we aren't a school club.
