The South Dakota Senior Games was established in 1984, by the SD State Legislature as a state sponsored event. Over the past 40 years, the organization has since become a non-profit association and is overseen by a board of directors and an executive director.
Our mission statement is: “We encourage better health and fitness of South Dakotans over the age of 50 with events that promote physical and emotional wellness in the spirit of friendly competition.”
To that end, we provide opportunities for athletes to compete in 19 sport categories with many sub categories under those for a wide range of skill levels. Each event it broken down by 5-year age increments and by gender.
