Well I am sure this is a given. But
unfortunately, many clans look for only skilled players. I
recommend a player practice with internet Quake or QuakeWorld
at least 1 hour every night. A good method of control is
recommended. All of The Rangers use Mouse+Keyboard. There are
some other controllers out there, but we find this to be the
best method. If you want some tips and tricks and custom
config files go to Stomped.

I recommend you surf the net and check out all the clans that
interest you. Do not set your sights on joining just one of
them. Make a list of 5 clans that interest you for whatever
reason and approach them professionally. Sending them email
like "I am a great player and want to join your
clan," may not be enough. Most of the better clans will
want to test your skills out and many will not reply directly
to email. Find out where they hang out; servers they play on,
IRC channels they go to, etc... Be polite and professional.
It make take some time even if you are a talented player to
get into a clan. Gain the trust of your intended teammates.
To see a list of clans go to The Clanring or id
Software's Official Clan List.

After becoming a member of a clan it is important that you
are professional and courteous to your teammates and other
clans. There are far too many egotistical and political clan
members out there. Stand apart from these types of players
and be special. Your teammates will respect you more for it
and value your attendance and ideas. Don't be a ghost; show
up for matches, meetings and other events plan by your clan.
You didn't go through all the hard work of getting into a
good clan for nothing did you? Be prepared for changes and
accept it. Everything changes - even Quake. Roll with the
punches and kick some major butt in the name of your clan!
