Multiple Florida Senior Games Series Qualifiers have already taken place this past spring.  This past week, the Pensacola Senior Games kicked off the fall calendar’s slate of 10 qualifier events, setting the road to Clearwater’s championships in December.

“The annual Florida Senior Games continues to provide athletes age 50 and over the opportunity to challenge themselves in a sport or event of their choice and lead an active lifestyle,” said Marvin E. Green, Jr., Vice President of Amateur Sports and Events.  “The Games also give athletes the chance to renew old friendships they’ve made over the years during competitions and share the camaraderie sports provide.”
 
The 2018 Florida Senior Games will be in Clearwater and Pinellas County for the fourth consecutive year and serve as a qualifier for the 2019 National Senior Games, to be held June 14-25 in Albuquerque, New Mexico.
 
The 2017 Florida Senior Games attracted over 2,500 athletes during the nine days of competition.  Since the Games inception in 1992, nearly 50,000 senior athletes have competed in the Florida Senior Games.

The Florida Senior Games Rules of Competition are prepared for the Florida Senior Games and based upon the rules set forth by the National Senior Games Association (NSGA), Florida Sports Foundation, and the recognized National Governing Body for each sport.
 
For the Senior Games, however, some sport rules have been modified and/or revised in the best interest of the competitors. These rules of competition have been approved by FSF and NSGA.
