Whether you’re a seasoned competitor or just getting started, there’s a place for you here. Our mission is to motivate, engage, and connect adults 50 and older through organized sports, active lifestyles, and community camaraderie.

Local Games are hosted in 14 communities statewide and offer exciting opportunities for athletes of all skill levels. These games are where friendships form, passion ignites, and peers cheer each other on—all while following the same official rules as our State Games.

Each community can select sports that reflect local interest, making it easy for participants to train, compete, and prepare for state-level competition in a fun and encouraging environment. Think of Local Games as your gateway to the wider world of Senior Olympics.

In addition to Local Games, New Mexico Senior Olympics hosts two State Games—offering even more chances to compete, improve, and have fun.

We’re on a mission to recruit new participants, showcase new sports, and spread the word about the incredible benefits of staying active after 50. Our 2025 campaign encourages communities to hang the “Learn About Sports for Adults 50+” banner year-round, indoors or outdoors, to raise awareness and draw in new athletes.

We’ve also made it easier than ever to get involved. A quick scan of the banner’s QR code takes you straight to our sport descriptions and registration resources. Plus, our website is being updated to provide a smoother, more user-friendly experience.

Pro Tip: Move your banner to different high-traffic areas every few months to boost visibility and maximize impact.

You might notice our banner intentionally leaves out the word “Senior.” That’s by design. We’re reaching beyond traditional senior centers to engage a new generation of active adults—people who are passionate about sports, wellness, and living life to the fullest.

“You don’t stop playing because you grow old, you grow old because you stop playing.”

We’re here to make sure you keep playing—and keep thriving.
