need to vent, i never play!!

[FreakBaller12]

Well here's how it goes:
I am currently 15 and I own a sweet ULE'D emag. I love the sport of paintball and plan to be around it for a good while. Well i just got off the phone with soem of my friends. Looks like we might not play tomrrow for the 3rd straight weekend. We have regularly 6 guys play at our sweet home made field, unless we get younger newbs play then there's more. But i really don't enjoy playign with them and just want a good game. Here we go 4 of us have easily 700+ and 2 of the 4(including me) 1k setups. It's not the gun price, it's that i never get to use it! I have the money to play pretty much every week. But nobody else does and not that many kids i know in my grade play. I am really starting to get made over this. What the heck should i do!!!!
ugh [/vent]

Where do you live in Jersey? If you are close enough or can get a ride to my house I can give you a lift to PBX once in a while...

You should get your driver's permit, then your license, then drive yourself. It's still fun to play, even though you don't have a big group.

Go to a real field, from what I have heard NJ has quite a few fields for the size of the state.

I go through the exact same scenario w/ my friends every weekend. We finally got together to play yesterday and only 2 guys showed up. Ive tried to talk some of them into going w/ me to the local field but they claim that its way too exspensive and I just wouldnt feel comfortable going alone.

I hear ya man. Cept I know we should be competing with some good teams, I feel like we can keep up with them. But we have no money to get as good as we should be by now.

Just find a cool group that goes out regularly and play with them.

I've gone to local fields during team practices with some friends' team, and played during "team practice only" times. Thats great, because the pressure and bad attitudes of tournies arent present, but neither are the noobs...

Just go to a real field..

Practicing is overrated IMO though.. The team i'm on.. At most we just practice the week before a tourny.. And we usually do pretty good.. We took first at our last one.. But there were only a handfull of good teams.. The rest were noobs.. But still..

If you want to play.. Go to a real field and play some airball

[RT pRo AuToMaG]

Wow, suck it up, seriously. Three weeks is not that long. I haven't played since the beginning of January and haven't had a gun for the same amount of time (milling, eyes installed, and ano) and have already put $1600+ into it (including the price of the gun of course). I still don't have my gun back. At least you have the oppertunity to play. Homemade fields suck anyway, just go to a real field and play some airball.

[TheDoveDecends]

yeah man.. just head out to a local field.. we play basically every Sunday.. its not scheduled anymore.. its just something everyone knows and does.

[lonelymag]

you shouldnt be afraid of going to the field alone, if you want to play and meet people who actually play consistantly...theyre at the fields.

[WenULiVeUdiE]

I hear you loud and clear. I tell my friends we are playing 2 weeks in advance, and when do they try and get their stuff!? The day we're suppsoed to play. Im sick and tired of them. Try and find a new group of players that are committed to the sport, like yourself.

[AGDlover]

one weekend just have you parents give you a ride to your local rec bal field and hopefully meet some ppl and hang out with them i do that everytime i go ballin mostly ppl notice my mag and we start talkin sofar i've made 18friends at 1field

[tony3]

Yeah, I always meet people to hang out with if the field is closed. I go to the same indoor field a lot now that I know most of the refs and I can always hang out with them.
