Hey there, and welcome to the board. I would suggest that you give the tidewater club a try. I do not know anyone there personally, but I understand that they are a decent sized club. There are also a number of good clubs in the DC/Maryland area dependingon how far you want to travel. You might also want to check out your local parks and rec. department for clubs that are not USFA registered. The link for the tidewater club is below, and it you are ever in the Charlottesville area, drop by and say hello!
