We believe it's vital for fathers to be the loving and strong leaders that they were created to be. The importance of a father’s positive involvement in their sons lives is critical, to raise up the next generation of men on a loving and solid foundation. That loving leadership and involvement is crucial to the future of our families, communities and nation.

When a father is not involved in his child's life:

What kind of legacy will you leave?

The Father & Son Bowl kicked off in late 2006 on a brisk winter day. It was a backyard pick-up game with a world class referee (thanks Andy!). The boys had a lot of fun and the dads had a lot of sore muscles. The final score... FUN! In 2008 we decided to take this idea to a larger community level. We weren’t sure what the response was going to be. WOW, what an event! Over 160 fathers and sons turned out for the second annual event.

In 2018 the event continued to grow and over 1,300 players turned out for another great weekend of flag football and bonding. So far, we have raised over $68,500 for fatherless children.


Jesus Christ is our head coach and the Bible is our playbook. When you know your creator and his playbook for your life, then you can truly live a victorious life.

Darin & Caree Our mission is to champion fatherhood and encourage men to be the loving and strong leaders that they're created to be.

Be the MVD!

No professional football player could ever compare to a father that hits the gridiron with his son. Be a Most Valuable Dad!
