Starting a DDR club

大見解 · 08-26-2007, 02:58 PM

Hey, I am going to be starting a DDR club in Highschool. I am a freshman, but I already know a LOT of people from the prep day.. or maybe they already know who I am XD.

I'd like some tips on how to start a DDR club. I know that at least 5 guys at school who play DDR on heavy, including me.

I've heard that some clubs actually got sponsored by Red Octane, and they got DDR pads and stuff.

Should I make this a DDR club (with itg and piu), or should I make it Bemani in general.

Thanks.

And you are fucking THIRTEEN? (or twelve)

GOOD LUCK.

Hint: get the P.E. coaches interested...maybe they will then put funds to buy equipment...

Isn't high-school 15+? I'm still in Junior high, and I'm 13. (Meeeeh! Everyone's so much older than me here!!!)

Anyway, I think it would be cool for BEMANI in general, so people get to know more about it, but more people know about PIU, and ITG. Either one works. Maybe you can could combine the two, and it would just be a rhythm game club.

Um. Highschool is full of 13 year and 14 year old students in freshman, or at least over here.

And yes, I am 13.

How do clubs work? I don't really know :/

And where is "here" ? If you are in America then you obviously skipped a grade or two.

Actually is a magnet school and about 1/4th of us started school early and/or skipped a grade. About 80 percent of us are 13 or 14, and about 20 percent still 13

Hmm...interesting.

Ok, so good thing that everyone else is your age, otherwise in a typical high school, no one would listen to a 13 year old...

If it doesn't work you could always move to West Virginia.

well all I can say is, god luck. In junior high we already had DDR in gym (and I made a DDR Club), but now if I were to start a DDR club, people would make comments on me (that are not good!). So I never tried, but hell if there are people that your age in high school, go ahead and try. Ask the gym teachers for help, they may also support your club in gym, well at least they did at my school.

You just talk to your principal or counselor. Usually you find a teacher to sponsor your activity per say DDR.

Once or twice a week after school seems more than appropiate. You need to have people interested.

For example.
18 kids that enjoy football want a football club.
12 kids that enjoy DDR want a DDR club.
Chances are, the football club will get there's up and running faster, because there are more people and is probably easier to organize since it's such a well known thing. If you want your DDR club to go smoothly, talk to people. Figure out if it'd be worth the time and whatnot. There's a lot of technicalities behind this, so be ready for anything.

Awesome.

School has not started yet however. It will tommorow YAY!

Where do clubs take place in? Empy classrooms?

Kaykun[Stoked] · 08-26-2007, 04:39 PM

Yeah, that and gym rooms possibly if they're not being used by other school sponsored activities.

lol signature.

You must be 12.

fellatius · 08-27-2007, 09:33 AM

Because your signature is SO much better (that DDR vs. ITG thing is retarded as fuck sorry)

To make it a bit easier, why don't you just try and make a video game club and make sure DDR is one of the games there? There are more hardcore video game fans than hardcore DDR fans, so that'll help it get off the ground

Dude, I'm a junior and am trying to make a club at my school too. Finding people is no problem cause I know at least 20 ddr players (but only like 4 i know can play heavy and one other guy than me who can do 10s) and a few beatmania guys. But the sponser is the hard part cause all the teachers have like 2 clubs already. Argh, usually the pe guys are sponsering other sports too.
