We’ll also share tips to help everyone stay fit and keep active.

We are sending our best wishes for an exciting spring, summer and fall– a year full of sport, competition and friendship. And this year is a qualifying year for the 2025 Summer National Senior Games in Des Moines, Iowa.

The 2024 California State Championships feature an exciting format, thanks to an innovative partnership between the San Diego Senior Games and Pasadena Senior Games.  Events will be held in both regions under the umbrella of the California Senior Games State Championships. Qualifying events are designated in the registration information.  The Encore Games in Northern California will be held from late September 2024 to early December, with several exceptions this spring. These Encore Games competitions are known as the “the second chance to qualify” for the 2025 Summer National Senior Games held in Des Moines, Iowa.

A summary of sports, venues and designated qualifying events will be listed here, and also be available at the following web sites:

Venue confirmation continues to be a challenge but San Diego, Pasadena and Northern California are working together to confirm venues so athletes can plan their training schedules and travel plans in order have the best chance to qualify for 2025 Summer National Senior Games!

Thanks to our CSGA Board of Directors, the regional games event organizers and sports commissioners for their continued support as well as the sports organizations who have provided guidance for all of us.
