Find a Model Rocketry Group

Model rocketry is one of the oldest and most popular hobbies in the United States. Every year more and more people join local model rocketry clubs and attend regular monthly launches. Each state has many different clubs located in the region, depending on the size of the state of course. In some cases members may have to drive a good amount of distance to the closest rocketry club, depending on their location. However, rocketeers know the sacrifice they must make to do the hobby they love.

There are a number of ways to locate a rocketry club in your area. The most simple way is to go to your favorite search engine, and do a search for rocket club in "your area" and see what turns up. This can turn up some strange results if "your area" does not match a specific search result. You may need to tweak your searches until you find a few in your area. If you are looking for a National Association of Rocketry club then this site is your best bet. You can select your state, then browse through the number of clubs that are associated with the state.

Just about every club has their own website with information about their launches. You can find locations, times, and dates to launches that are coming up. Clubs are very open to outsiders joining their launches and are very welcoming to questions. Some clubs may require a waiver to be signed and a launch fee before flying any model rockets. Make sure to find all these requirements out before heading to the launch.
