I'm in the East Bay area and am looking for someone to show me the ropes. Maybe there's someone inbetween.

There are a few athletes around. A few of us live in the Brentwood area and that is only about an hour from you. We have not set a day to practice anytime soon but keep checking back with me. My email is You should also consider going to the Watsonville games and compete in the C division or depending how old you are a masters division. We old guys are pretty competitive. Good Luck |

I have a small practice group at Stanford Univ. The July schedule is kind of a mess since I'll be out of town a lot and then there's the North American Champs in Enumclaw, but as a very, very general rule, we practice on Thursday nights.
Scottish Heavy Athletics has a Facebook presence. They're the Nor Cal organizers. If you're on FB, add the group and put up a note. |

I doubt your the oldest to pick up the sport. A guy with our practice group here in SoCal picked up the sport at the age of 57...impressive.
