Get yourself geared up with a decent Airsoft gun and then find a field near you so that you can get the basics down for yourself. Check out Airsoft Finder for a directory of retailers and regional Airsoft teams so you know where to start out. As you gain experience, you can switch to starting your team.

Look first in places you know to find team members since it is easiest and most fun to start a team that's made up of friends or colleagues. If you want to stay away from work people, simply start up a blog or even a website at WetPaint so you can upload photos and direct people to your Airsoft team's "digital command center" in order to recruit new members.

Set your team's first training day even if you don't have the number of people that you ideally want. Run shooting trials and training exercises so you can begin to determine your Airsoft team members' skills. After your first training, make sure to go out for a drink or some food so that your team starts to form a bond that it wants to share with others.
