I doubt it. I've had this attitude with several other sports, and I've never not been tempted to join a team. Also, why does everyone assume I'm a guy?

Yeah, I would try looking at a dropzone, I've heard skydivers hang out there. This is a team activity, your first team will be you and your instructors. Get good enough that they kick you off the team, and then worry about finding a new team. You're not funny. So whoever told you that you were lied to you.

I'm interested in learning how to skydive, but I think I'd like to pursue this as a team activity. I haven't even done my first jump yet, so this might all be premature, but I really think I'm going to love the experience and want to get a license and all that jazz afterwards. I'm almost 19, and I've been waiting since I was 16 to turn 18 in order to be able to do this. I've got a few dropzones reasonably close to me, so that's not a problem. I just can't find any information on joining teams. This seems like a really fun activity to do with other people, and unfortunately all of my current friends find the idea of jumping out of a plane to be terrifying. I don't want to be one of those people who's always by themselves jumping. This looks like something exciting and cool that would be a lot of fun to experience with others! Any ideas of where I could find info about this? How could I hook up with other skydivers that have my level of experience, or in other words, other people that are just starting out?
