Grand Valley State University’s Nerf Club is hosting “the largest Nerf game” on the Allendale Campus’ Kelly Family Sports Center at 8:30 p.m. on Saturday.

Tanner Maten, vice president of the Nerf Club, said the club wanted to share its passion and spread the word about the Nerf Club.

“We’ve had three Nerf on the Turf’s before, and the turnout has always been good,” Maten said.

The Nerf Club was started last year when Patrick Schaefer, the president, and his roommate started having Nerf battles in their dorms. When they discovered there were Nerf clubs on other campuses, they decided to form their own.

“When we started the club our initial idea was to have large events that were more public, such as massive campus wide outdoor battles,” Schaefer said. “However, the higher ups said we absolutely could not do that, so that’s why Nerf on the Turf is such a great event and opportunity.”

Nerf on the Turf is the only event that the Nerf Club hosts that allows non club members to play.

“It’s a great way to see if you want to join the club, or even just to have some fun,” Maten said. “What’s better than a bunch of college students playing with Nerf guns?”

In order to play students must sign a waiver.

The rules will then be explained, teams will be sorted and the battle will begin.

Games such as team battles, hardcore, capture the flag and zombie survival will be played.

Kyle VanCamp, financial officer of the club, said they operate using the honor rule.

“If someone says you were hit, you do not fight it, you accept it,” VanCamp said. “We also frown upon aiming for the face of your opponent.”

VanCamp said they are excited to see more involvement.

“(The) more people, means more fun for everybody,” VanCamp said. “This is an event that welcomes everyone to try something new and get active in a fun way. Who wants to spend hours on a treadmill when they can have fun with their friends getting the same benefits?”

It is recommended that you have your own Nerf blaster, but you can also borrow some from other members.

The club meets on Tuesdays at 9 p.m. in Kirkhof Center Room 2263.

The Nerf club is also putting on Zombie Turf on April 14 at 8:30 p.m.
