How to Form an Airsoft Team
Airsoft teams organize to test their skills against other players in a simulated combat environment. These teams use imitation firearms, known as airsoft guns, that fire plastic pellets at high velocities. Teams function to both support their players and help train less experienced participants. Airsoft teams train together so that players can learn one another’s playing styles and develop tactics to overcome their opponents. New airsoft teams often struggle to find members because some areas might lack a large pool of unaffiliated players.

Tips & Warnings
Don’t keep bad apples. If a team member is causing problems within your group, pull him aside and explain how he can improve his communication or other team skills. Provide a reasonable time for the player to improve before he will be dropped from the team.
