Default I may have started something

I may have started something with a few of my students, I have a couple of students that I have shown my team and boards to that have shown some interest in miniture football.
I need to know some ideas to help get em started.
Two kids have bought boards and some teams, I decaled a player for one today ( the Bengals I had some extra decals) and the other has bought some decals from Benutt the raiders and men also .
They are very interested inthe hobby .
The question is what else can I do to help them get started and keep the interest up.


Here are some of my ideas
help them learn how the decal and paint
help them learn to tweak
help them learn how to play
better board maybe
maybe start a league ???( if I can get more players)
what else????

Steel town tough or something like you can help me , I know you started a league
All ideas are welcome

Tweaking and get a league going.
If they learn to tweak, there is so much more life brought to the hobby. How old are they?

Freshmen in high school

They have taken off on their on without to much help from me so far.
I didnt know they were so intersted until the one said they play each other all the time and they brought some players and base up to school and check speed and strength with my players .
then today one said he bought players and decals from Benutt .
He also said he has found this site .
i told him that it was a great site for information.
I am going to let them read threw my old Tweak mag.
Thanks for the suggestions.

Default great idea

Maybe this is the beginning of something with the new generation of MF players. Finally, they'll nkow that there's a alternative to video games
