I was always tempted to attempt to start a kiting club at my High School. It would be a great way to get more people into the sport, and an excuse to get out and ride more! I was talking to the folks over at Racekites.com, because they have a large UK population, and they seem to all band together in clubs. They have me thinking I can pull it off. Now, I want the North American opinion on the idea. (Considering there is a stronger north american population on this forum.)

Anyone think this is possible? Any advice? If I do start this club, I have to present to the school board, so if anyone has any good articles on kiting, safety, etc, I'll be happy to read it so I can write a more convincing essay, I'd be more then happy.

I started one at my school, went off without a hitch, but all I needed to do was submit some paper work, no essays, fun tho cuz I have gotten a few into the sport at my school. I say GIVE IT A GO! Where are you located? Dude are you my clone? PANSH, cheap equipment, in high school, maybe in U.S. :o

I thought the same exact thing when I saw all of your homemade fun. I don't think I have bought legitimate products outside of kiting, I just make them.

I'm in the Philadelphia area. My school is getting quite strict about clubs. Used to be all about just being able to get together with people of like interests after school, and now its about making sure everyone is safe. The middle school in my district has had 5 bomb threats that closed the school already. The threats stopped when the students learned they had to make those days up in summer.

So, if you have a club going, I do know is possible! I'll start getting the forms and planning stuff today.
