How often do you play?

with a max of 6-7 gamedays a year I can attend & around 4-5 games each day carrying a primary & secondary it would take me too long to use them all, especially as I tend to use the same pews each time.

 
actually turns out he doesn't have a game this Sunday, but none of my local sites have a skirmish on Sunday either.
You need to ask yourself, how far are you willing to go to shot people....

When would your local sites and your kids games/training align?

Or just enjoy the weekend and get a roast from somewhere

Yeah weekend of rest for me.
Double football is only temporary whilst they are in the playoffs for the cup, ‘til they either get knocked out or win!

When I was a teenagers I played (Rugby) for a club,  the school, the County, and was in the squad for Gloucester U21s.  On top of that I worked several evening's a week.

Makes you wonder how you manage it when you get to our age.  I feel tired just thinking about it.

Yep, aside from weekend matches he has training mid week, added football and rugby at school as he’s doing GCSE sports plus air cadets two nights a week. 
 

As a result he eats like a Bagger 288. 
 

I did bugger all as a teenager!  All my fitness has come post-30!

 
Probably 4-5 times a year or so (which is actually more than I was a few years ago).  Opportunities where I actually have good access to my own gear and there's a site nearby I'm enthused to play at aren't super common.  And honestly, I am lazy, I don't want to have to do my normal washing/ironing/shopping/cleaning one day of the weekend then add on loadout prep and then spend the sunday night washing/airing out/de-prepping airsoft stuff.

If I'm honest with myself, I never deliberately 'got in to' airsoft per se even when I started, I just wanted the M4 from a video game I was super in to as a teenager and to have the different barbie accessories for it.  At some point in the researching and acquisition of said replica I found out about skirmishes and it only seemed like the logical thing to go along, but the first few I went to were pretty 'meh' experiences overall.  Not bad, not amazing.  I'd say I force myself to go out now and again to breathe fresh air, run about and actually use all this stuff because if I let the little gremlin in the back of my mind win and I acted like the hermit man it tells me to be, well then it just wouldn't be a good thing overall in my life.

 
For a while I went once a fortnight, but reached a point where I didn’t enjoy it to the point it became almost a chore. 
 

For the last few years I’ve been going max once a month (often less) and found I look forward to it a lot more!

 
I used to play every weekend (the joys of player/marshalling so I didn’t have to pay), but these days I try to get out a couple of times a month.   If Mrs. Duff is away for the weekend and there’s a Saturday/Sunday combo at my local then I’ll do both days and still get out for the other one.  
 

It depends though, what with work and not wanting to have any wounds for some important photos I didn’t go for the majority of August or September

 
Probably play 6 times a year max, since I stopped marshalling and being involved with sites. Two young kids and life can often get in the way of pew pew fun. I was lucky to play in Spain and Portugal through work colleagues when I was working away, but now I’m home based it depends on the gaffer….

 
Once a month with the team for me. Occasionally we will do 2 games a month and we tap out for December and January just cause they’ve all got family commitments.
