The Fowling Warehouse Ypsi-Ann Arbor

Football hitting bowling pins set up on a platform

What is Fowling?

The Original Football Bowling Pin Game

It started as a one-lane mashup of football and bowling while tailgating at the 2001 Indy 500. Today, Fowling is quickly turning into a national sensation. Give it a try and you’ll see.

How Do You Play?

It’s as easy as throwing a football at ten bowling pins until someone knocks them all down. BONK™. Drink. Repeat. Check out the short, simple rules to find out about Fair Ups, Overtime, Sudden Death and more.

Three new leagues start in april and may

Summer is the time for some more leasiurly leagues.   And we have three of them; we are sure that one of them will fit your style

SPRING DOUBLES LEAGUE:  This is our regular Tuesday Night Doubles co-ed league, but without all of the pressure of qualifying for the AFA Tournament.  It starts on Tuesday April 2nd from 7P-10P and continues for 6 weeks with playoffs on May 21st.  It’s a great warm up for SuperFowl in Indy. Sign up HERE

LADIES LEAGUE:  By popular demand, we are starting a women’s only doubles league on alternating Thursday nights. Starts on Thursday, May 2 with 4 matches starting at 7PM.  It’s a total of 8 weeks, every other Thursday, then the playoffs on August 22nd. Sign up HERE

THE BEER LEAGUE:  This is the most relaxed league ever.  We suggest putting together a team of 3 people.  All three of you can play any week.  Or just two of you if one can’t make it.  If only one of you can make it … Fine.  You are a team of 1 that week.  You only pay for the players who play.  Plus, we will have a different craft beer for you to taste each week prior to the games.  It’s on alternating Thursdays at 7PM.  There’s a total of 7 weeks in the regular season plus the playoffs on Thursday August 29th.   Sign up HERE

All leagues are $20 per play per week.  For the duration of the league, all league members can FOWL FOR FREE during the week, so joining a league is like gettnig a Fowling Membership for the summer!!  It’s a great way to get a little excercise, make some new friends and work on your game.  We look forward to having you join us

2024 AFA Qualifying Winter Doubles League Results

The 2024 AFA Qualifying League is complete and we have determined the top four teams to qualify for the AFA Championship on April 20th at the Fowling Warehouse Grand Rapids.

The top three teams from the regular season qualified automatically.

Team Name Skipper Gilligan Matchs Won Matchs Lost
1 Wine Some, Booze Some Danielle Hixson Clinton Hixson 43 7
2 The Bourbon Brothers Randy Stewart Jeff Stewart 38 12
3 Chewbonkka’s Tommy Andre Josh Daley 34 16

The fourth qualifying team was determined by the playoffs.  If any of the top three teams won the tournament, the fourth place team from the regular season qualified for the AFA Championship.  But if a team ranked lower won the tournament, they would receive the 4th seed.  Well as luck would have it, there were two lower ranked teams in the semifinal, but neither won their game so our fourth place team in the regular season Kevin Ney and Steve Bitel of Pin Ticklers (33-17) received the final bid to the AFAs.  The final was between the #1 team, Wine Some Booze Some and the #2 team The Bourbon Brothers.  It was a seven game match with the entire league watching and it came down to game 7.  Danielle Hixson knocked down her final pin, but Randy Stewart tied it on the rebuttal shot.  In overtime both teams traded misses until Randy knocked down the final pin to win the tournament.

For Match by Match, Week by Week results, check in at https://www.fwya2.com/leagues.html.  If you are in Grand Rapids on Saturday 4/20, stop by the Fowling Warehouse at 6797 Cascade Rd SE, Grand Rapids, MI 49546.  The tournament starts at 4PM with a round robin qualifying session that will produce 4 teams who will compete for the championship.  See you there!  GO YPSI ANN ARBOR!!

THE YA2 BONK HALL OF FAME

Each time someone throws a Bonk here at the Fowling Warehouse Ypsi Ann Arbor we stop everything for the ceremony.  First, you are awarded the actual pin you Bonked on as a souvenir of the occasion.  Next you log your name into the “permanent record” of Bonkers.  Next you write your name on the Bonk Board.  Best for last, you pull the lever that sets off the BONK HONK, our 140-decibel freighter horn (think Joe Louis Arena’s goal horn) to announce your entry into the Bonk Hall Of Fame.  The latest Bonk Board is just to the right. Click the link if you want to see each month’s Bonk Board and a list of EVERY BONK ever made at the FWYA2!!
