What Is CAA?

The Chesapeake Airsoft Association

The Chesapeake Airsoft Association was created by the players - for the players. The goal was to bring together all of the airsoft players, teams, fields, and stores in Maryland, DC, Delaware, Pennsylvania, Virginia, West Virginia, New Jersey and the surrounding Chesapeake Bay watershed area.

The Association was founded on August 31st, 2010 by local airsoft players in need of a central hub to organize teams and post events. Our mission was to strengthen the airsoft community and make it easier for everyone to find each other. Over the years the association established uniform rules and procedures. CAA has maintained communication between fields, teams, and businesses so that our sport can continue to the highest level of safety and fun for everyone involved.
