MJA Posted January 2, 2023 Posted January 2, 2023 My son, 14, really wants to play Airsoft. He has some experience of shooting clays and paintball. We live on the border of East Surrey/West Kent - are there clubs he can join (we're happy to travel)? Or do you just book into events? Just mindful it would be nice for him to make some friends and get more experience with a club. Thank you JamesAirsofterAgent 1
Colin Allen Posted January 2, 2023 Posted January 2, 2023 (edited) You just book into events; most players are friendly and I suspect that he will make friends at whichever site(s) he attends. Players are usually happy to chat about their kit and guns. If you are in the East Surrey/West Kent area, you could try the following: Ace Combat (near Paddock Wood) - small, but decent for beginners. Dog tag (near Faygate) Driver Wood (near Crawley) Tactical Warfare Airsoft (near New Addington) - lots of youngsters. Edited January 2, 2023 by Colin Allen Rogerborg 1

Whilst it may seam daunting to turn up on your own and not knowing anyone, 99% of airsofters are more than happy to talk about and show off their kit
MJA Posted January 2, 2023 Author Posted January 2, 2023 That's really reassuring - I was just concerned that he isn't very old and won't know anyone. Though he loves to chat! Thank you JamesAirsofterAgent 1

DaktariT Posted January 7, 2023 Posted January 7, 2023 Dogtag is definitely worth a visit for the younger players. I take my son who is 15 there, I feel like an OAP when I turn up
