See http://teamsavannah.com/

I am sure there is more, but that's a start to find more information

Training and competing with people better than you is the best way to get advice and improve :cool:

I've found that the people involved in this sport are exceptionally welcoming and encouraging. Everyone starts somewhere and everyone wants to see you improve.

Give em a call, sooner is MUCH better than later

Thanks man Ive wanted to compete in either Oly or powerlifting since I started lifting so if I start competing I want to get at least in the top 3. Guess it just means I need to work harder.

I don't know how close you are to the clubs and coaches I mentioned but I think it would be a blessing to be close to a major club. A lot of the best weightlifters in the United States have come from there.
