### Hey — I’m Mark 👋

I’m the owner of **Backyard Starz**, a local, family-owned business here in the Austin area. We started Backyard Starz because I love helping families create those “my kid will never forget this” moments—without parents having to stress, overpay, or piece everything together themselves.

After hosting a bunch of backyard movie nights and parties, we kept hearing the same thing from parents:

“Do you do anything that gets the kids moving?”

So we built something that’s pure energy (and pure fun): **Backyard Starz Nerf Battles**.

## What We Do

We bring the full Nerf battle experience to your yard, park, or party space—think:

- Structured games that keep kids engaged (not chaotic)
- Obstacles, zones, and battle formats that feel like a real “arena”
- A host-led experience so parents don’t have to referee
- A setup that works for birthdays, school events, team parties, and neighborhood get-togethers

Whether it’s a small group or a big crew, our goal is simple: **make it ridiculously fun and easy.**

## Who We Serve

Most of our parties are for kids, but we’ve also done events where teens and adults jump in (and honestly… the adults get *very* competitive).

Nerf battles are great for:

- Birthday parties
- School PTO events
- Sports teams
- Church groups
- Neighborhood parties
- Corporate family days

If you’re not sure your space works, just reach out—we’ll help you figure it out quickly.
