When I started out as a young teen, I use to play just $5 buy-in ring games with about 5 guys. If someone lost $10-$15, nothing too big. As we grew up we started to cash in with more and more money. Gaining experience when less money is involved was my transition into poker, so to speak.
I would suggest your friends get a decent ring game going among them and have a low buy-in, say $20, not enough to break the bank, but enough that they will all want to win some cash and pay more attention to the game. With experience comes skill, IMO
