Payment may be made by check, money order or cashier’s check. SDSGA cannot be responsible for lost or misdirected mail. If you don’t receive a confirmation letter in a timely manner, please call the SDSGA office.
AGE FOR COMPETITION

Age categories for both men and women are 50-54, 55-59, 60-64; 65-69; 70-74; 75-79; 80-84; 85-89; 90-94; 95+ and 100+. Age categories for doubles and teams will be determined by the age of the youngest player as of December 31st of the competition year. Some sports offer 40-44 and 45-49 age divisions.
*Swimming age is determined by the day of the event
REGISTRATION FEES
There are two fees for every athlete upon registering Individual Fee and Sport Fee.
There is a one-time Individual Fee for all athletes. This covers the athlete’s cost of participating that includes T-shirts, medals, registration, insurance and credit card processing.
There is also a Sport Fee for every sport you register for. This helps covers the sport related cost of venues, officials, sport equipment, etc. Every athlete must register individually, there are no longer team fees.
REFUNDS
Refunds for the San Diego Senior Games (SDSGA) are handled as follows:
- Cancellation of Event(s) by SDSGA – 100% refund
- Athlete cancels 30+ days of event(s) – 100% refund – minus $5
- Athlete cancels 15-29 days of event(s) – 50% refund – minus $5
- Athlete cancels 0-14 days of event(s) – No refund
Understanding the Fee Structure of the Games
To help keep the Games as affordable as possible, we start with a single INDIVIDUAL fee,
then we add SPORT fees for all sports. (For Track and Field only, an EVENT fee will be added).
To clarify how this works:
- INDIVIDUAL fee – All athletes pay a single Registration fee.
- SPORT fee – Sports have an additional “Sport Fee” to help offset the costs of venues, officials, equipment, of that particular sport.
- EVENT fee – Some Sports will have an additional “Event Fee” per event. Your Registration fee of includes one event. For sports that have Doubles and Mix Doubles, these are event fees.
- ALL EVENTS INCLUDED – In some cases, the Sport fee includes all the Event fees.
- MULTIPLE SPORTS – Athletes can play in multiple sports.
If you have any questions about the fees associated with your specific sports,
please feel free to e-mail or call us at: Registration@SDSeniorGames.org
SCHEDULING
It is your responsibility to make sure the sports you choose don’t have time conflicts. Refunds are not provided for time conflicts due to overlapping events.
TEAM REGISTRATION
Team registration refers to men and women Basketball, Soccer, Softball and Volleyball. This does not refer to sports with partners as in doubles or mix doubles.
Team Manager/Captain must register the team first. The team manager will need to contact the team members to let them know that team registration is ready for individual team member registration.
Players may play on two teams in different age categories. However, in case of games being played simultaneously, player must only play on one team. Swapping between teams during the same time period is not allowed.
You may register for as many sports/events as you’d like as long as the dates/times don’t conflict. One event is included with your Player/Registration fee. Each additional sport is the Sport Fee of that sport.
PARTNERS
A partner should be indicated on the registration form by full name, birthdate, and age. If you are a player looking for a Doubles Partner, email registration@SDSeniorGames.org or contact the Sport Commissioner. You may only participate in one doubles and one mixed doubles per event. The age of the youngest partner will determine the age category. All partner changes must be made one week before the competition. Partner changes are not allowed on site.
EQUIPMENT
Participants are required to provide their own equipment for the events entered (except as specified under the sport description). Please be sure to mark your personal items and do not leave valuables unattended. SDSGA is not responsible for the loss or damage of any athlete’s personal equipment.
UNIFORMS
All athletes must wear the appropriate athletic type of clothing and shoes for the sport(s) in which they are competing. Team sports require like color and style numbered uniforms. Equipment, clothing or shoes that are inappropriate or in violation of the sports rules will be cause for disqualification. The SDSGA Sport Commissioners have been authorized to make this determination. If you have any questions, please contact the Commissioner.
SPORTSMANSHIP/CONDUCT
Unsportsmanlike or disorderly conduct on the part of competitors or coaches will be grounds for immediate removal and disqualification without any refund. Sports Commissioners and/or SDSGA staff reserve the right to disqualify any competitor for these grounds.
INSURANCE
The SDSGA has a General Liability Insurance Policy for the Games. This insurance does not cover property loss, damage to the participant, or medical cost if an accident or injury occurs during the normal routine of competition or during travel to and from the competition. Each participant is responsible for his or her own medical insurance. Prior to competition, each athlete MUST SIGN a waiver, or the athlete will not be eligible to participate.
MEDICAL ASSISTANCE

The SDSGA also reserves the right to combine age divisions and cancel any event due to insufficient entries. Cancellations due to insufficient entries will be given refunds.
