Dads in the Game

Dads in the Game

Our story

Rooted in fatherhood. Ready for what's next.

Dads in the Game began as an idea in 2011 and launched in 2012, co-founded by Stu Cherande-Friedman and Cliff John. In 2026, Stu relaunched the brand with a focus on celebrating everyday dads, helping them feel connected, and developing practical support for the real-life journey of fatherhood.

Our shop and Most Valuable Dad program are open now. More programs and tools are on the way, starting with Becoming a Dad.
