City number thirteen

Start a squad in your city

Twelve cities across DFW and Austin, and every one of them started with one dad who said he would show up. If yours is not on the list yet, that dad could be you.

No forms to fill out later, no runaround, no rules to memorize. A leader calls you and you talk it through.

What it takes

One night a month, one place, and you.

A squad is a standing night at a restaurant or a park, ten or twenty dads who know each other’s names, and one man who makes sure it happens.

The existing leaders bring the name, a page on this site so dads can find you, the other city leaders on a group text, and help getting the first night off the ground.

You do not need a big group, experience running anything, or a plan beyond the first night.

Put your city on the map

One dad who will show up and a place to sit is how every squad on this site started. Tell us where you are and a leader will call you.
