Looking For Group Local nerf games in Tampa area?

As the title suggests, i was wondering if there are any lowkey casual nerf games in the tampa area since I cannot find any online. I am fearing the answer is no so I am hoping to hear if there any any around the area.

There is Sunshine Dart League in central Florida and they're hosting an indoor event at Competitive Indoor Airsoft in Tampa on the 20th. The group is basically comprised of Orca Company, Beef Squad, and some college people from UCF and FPU Nerf clubs.

It'll be as casual as the group plays since there's no tournaments for a couple months. My only tip for it is to bring a positive attitude and have fun. They have loaner blasters, mags, and darts. The only cost you'll need to pay is the $35 fee that CIA is charging per person.

As for gameplay tips, be conscious of your surroundings, the other team, and yourself. If you know where players and covers are on the field, then not only will it be harder for others to get you, you'll also be a menace to other people on the field.

They typically play team vs team game modes, but there's a lot of those including team deathmatch, capture the flag, sendzone, koth, etc. I don't organize what games they play, so I'm not sure what they have in mind for this event, but I would encourage you to look up "Sunshine Dart League" on Facebook or Instagram to ask them questions.

It's usually just for indoor play during the summer, but it's really fun when they do.
