Local Games Information

North Carolina Senior Games (NCSG) began in 1983 with a vision to create a year-round health promotion and wellness education program for adults 55 years of age and better (the age is now 50+).

Each spring, thousands of North Carolinians enjoy participating in a Local Senior Games throughout the State. Local Games may be held from February 1 - June 15. Qualifiers from Local Games are invited to participate in the annual Senior Games State Finals held every fall. Every two years the State Finals winners qualify for the National Senior Games.
