Welcome: A great year….it has been a great year for California senior athletes and California senior games….full of sport, competition and friendship.

Many California athletes qualified in many sports to travel to Des Moines, Iowa for the 2025 Summer National Senior Games next summer – July 24 – August 4.

Athletes will be receiving invitations to register in the next few weeks.  Hotel information is available and www.nsga.com has lots of good information about the games next summer along with training tips, athlete stories and the importance of competition and exercise.

Second Annual National Senior Games Week: We are happy to announce that the second annual National Senior Games Week will held March 17 to March 23, 2025.  This is a great opportunity to share our stories about senior games, organize sports clinics and recruit interested athletes and volunteers – raising the visibility of Senior Games across the nation.

As we love to say, ‘competition never grows old‘.

I continue to be grateful for sports commissioners and volunteers for their continued support!

We were not able to have cycling or volleyball this year – and we know many athletes were disappointed.. we will try again next year.. Cost of insurance, venue availability and partnerships are the issues.

Please don’t hesitate to call our office at 650.323.9400 with questions and suggestions. Be sure to leave a clear message – your name and phone number.

Please keep training, staying in shape and having fun – see you at the track, pool, course, field, gym, pitch and court.

Yours in Sport,
