WHO
This event is for guy players only but all are welcome to come watch, eat, play in the Skill Zone, and cheer on the players. Fathers and sons* from ages 5 to 95. Grandfathers and grandsons, uncles and nephews, mentors and mentees, or if you are a man that plays a significant role in a young man’s life you can play together too.
*If you have a son (or know of one) whose father is unable to play for some reason or if you are a single mom with a son, these boys can sign up too. Email Caree@FatherSonBowl.com for more information.
Individuals
A father and son(s) play on the same team (in the same game) and will be teamed up with other fathers and sons of similar age and skill level. If you are entering a group of 9 players or fewer, we will add extra players to make a complete team.
Teams
Groups can request to play together as a team. We will do our best to accommodate team requests, but cannot guarantee them. All teams will consist of a minimum of 10 players. If you are entering a team of 9 players or less, we will add players to your team.
Due to increased demand and limited space, we can no longer reserve full games. If you and your son(s) are wanting to play with friends, everyone will need to sign up together on one registration form OR everyone will need to register separately on the same day with the same time slot and all requested teammates names listed. If you do not register on the same day, we cannot guarantee that you all will play together. If you register to play as a team and someone has to cancel for any reason, registration fees cannot be transferred and are non-refundable. For example, if a registered player cannot play on game day, but you have unregistered guys that would like to play, those new players will need to register and pay player fees. We reserve the right to adjust or change any team up to and on game day. No teams are exclusive. For additional important info on teams go to Extra Points.
If you’d like to play against another team (as described above) you can request this, but it cannot be guaranteed. The other team will also need to sign up as described above and on the same day as your team.

1 in 4 CHALLENGE
According to the U.S. Census Bureau, 17.8 million children, nearly 1 in 4, live without a biological, step, or adoptive father in the home. Stop for a second and think if you know any boys or young men that don't have a dad in their life. If you do, please consider bringing them and making a positive impact in their life.
