About team training and more!

[p2nky]

Hello, its me again. I definitely wish to start play paintball. And now im doing research! For this moment i have few questions.
1) I is possible for a new player find a place in team and train with them ? Im aim to sub air paintball.
2) If some team will invate me ( i will be very happy ), how much training days in the week normally ?
3) Does normally team rent some field for training ? If i will be part of the team, i have to pay fee rent to ? How much does it cost ? Day or mouth ?
4) Any info about team training days ? How they work and other things that i didnt ask ?
I will be very pleased, is some one can cover these questions. A Really wish to start play paintball, but dont know how to start. And where. I dont wish to do just walk ons.

Hi p2nky.
If you are looking at Joining a sup'air team, state where you are based ?, your age ?, have transport ?, have full kit ?
1. Yes anyone can find a place within a team. Some teams are more casual in playing and training, some others take it more seriously and would probably train at least once or twice a month.
2. Pop along to your nearest training site, ask some teams politely if you can join in with them doing drills or games. Costs for training days depends where you go. Green fee would normally cost £10/£15 per player, + a box of training paint £20/£25...
3. There are sites that rent fields to teams, price is usually sorted out between the teams and owner, can vary.
4. Look around the forums for teams recruiting players, trial days etc

Im from Birmingham, city centre and im 25 years old. I have driving licence but do not have a car. And no, i dont have kit, because i dont know what to buy and where. I thought that if i find some team, they could give me advice, what is best and where to buy. So, right now im doing researches, first i need to find out do we have teams in Birmingham. Because i dont wont to buy all kit before that. And if will not find a team, i dont wont to be alone and just do walk ons. Thanks for a reply !

walk ons are incredibly social events and i could probably guarantee that whatever site you turn up to play at, you'll meet people who you will then know and be able to play with at future walk ons! Although there are most certainly teams in Birmingham so i'm sure with a bit of digging you will find one that can take you.
