Welcome — and Happy New Year, 2026!
What a year this is shaping up to be for California senior athletes and the California Senior Games. 2026 is filled with promise — a season of sport, competition, camaraderie, and the thrill of qualifying for the 2027 Summer National Senior Games in Tulsa. The road to Tulsa starts here, and every stride, stroke, swing, and goal brings us one step closer.
Once again, as we did in 2024, California will host qualifying events at three locations: San Diego, Pasadena, and the San Francisco Bay Area. We will post more information about sports and locations where competitions will take place soon. Check back here at: www.bayareaeniorgame.org.
Keep an eye on www.nsga.com for information, photos, results, and inspiring athlete stories. You can also connect with us on Facebook at California Senior Games. And remember our favorite motto: competition never grows old.
I remain deeply grateful to our sports commissioners and volunteers whose dedication keeps these Games thriving. Their commitment to healthy aging, community, and sport is what makes this extraordinary movement possible.

Yours in Sport,
Anne Warner Cribbs, OLY
