There are five of us and we want to stop going "whenever it works out" and set up something with a bit of organisation: a name, someone to sign the group up for games, a minimum of roles. Those of you with established teams, how do you manage it without it becoming a chore?

Hi, Alex. Every group has its own dynamics and personalities, so what I tell you might or might not work for you, but I hope it helps you get some ideas.
The first thing I can advise you is to make a WhatsApp or Discord group specifically for your airsoft squad. Starting from that basis, the name thing is very personal: ideally, depending on your vibe, you'd choose something more humorous or more serious. You can also add the area you're from so that when you go to other fields, people recognise you or feel curious about where you're from, and that way you build more community.
As for the roles and who to add to the group, you have no choice but to define at least one representative (which can be rotational) who has your data saved and who also serves as treasurer to take care of paying for the match.
Regarding organisation, I also recommend you do surveys on WhatsApp or Discord with a short duration (1 or 2 days) and with at least 1 week in advance so people can decide if they want to go on Saturday or Sunday and where (if you have the option to choose between several fields).
Last tip, although this one is optional: wear the same uniform or a similar one. It gives a very personal touch to the group and also helps you distinguish yourselves from other squads.
