In addition, for each event after 10 events there will be a $5 fee/event.
ARE YOU ELIGIBLE FOR THE STATE FINALS?
The 2025 State Finals events will be open to all Tennessee athletes and those living within 30 miles of the TN border in 2025. Athletes must turn 50 by 12/31/25 to be eligible. Exception: some out-of-state athletes will be allowed in certain sports. See the article below.
2026 STATE FINALS ELIGIBILITY NOTE
For next summer, please note that per the TSO Board, participation in a 2025 District Games will be required in order to qualify for the 2026 State Finals. The 2026 State Finals is a qualifier for the 2027 Nationals.
Attending our 2025 Districts (primarily in the fall) will be a vital step towards qualifying for the 2026 State Finals! This is not just a requirement; it’s an incredible opportunity for growth, competition, and connection. By participating in the district competitions, you’ll not only enhance your skills but also immerse yourself in the wonderful camaraderie that our community fosters. Together, we can embrace the joy of movement, fitness, and shared experiences.
Support your fall 2025 district and make the most of this journey towards health and wellness.

Please keep checking back for those sports that indicate TBD.
SCHEDULE CHANGES AND ADDITIONS
The state finals schedule will remain similar to the past with the following exceptions:
- Tennis has been moved to commence the week before most events start (Wednesday, June 18- Friday, June 20). Multi-sport athletes forfeiting during tennis play has created havoc to the tennis draw in the past. We are hopeful that this new approach will attract players committed to play, resulting in a smooth tournament experience.
- In analyzing survey comments and with the non-qualifying year, the TSO will be trying a one-hole 18 hole golf tournament to increase participation.
- Because of low participation in non-qualifying years badminton, racquetball, and the race walk will not be held.
- Disc golf has been moved to Sunday, 6/22 to attract more athletes.
New sport additions:
Co-ed Volleyball 4 x 4. Teams of 2 men and two women. Sunday, June 22.
Billiards. Eight-ball open. Monday, June 23 for those 65 and above;
Tuesday, June 24 for 50-64.
Other new sports are being explored and will be announced if venues and personnel can be acquired.

TSO SEEKING SPONSORS & VENDORS FOR 2025
The Tennessee Senior Olympics is seeking sponsors for our 2025 Games, presenting a remarkable opportunity to make a meaningful impact on the health and wellness of seniors across Tennessee.
Do you know a potential sponsor to pass this information to?
Sponsors will not only contribute to creating an unforgettable experience for our dedicated athletes but also elevate their brand’s visibility and recognition within a supportive and inclusive atmosphere that embodies the spirit of the Tennessee Senior Olympics.
We offer many distinct levels of sponsorship—each designed to provide unique benefits that maximize exposure at the event.
Alternatively, we are committed to working with potential sponsors to customize a package that aligns perfectly with budget and goals.
We also warmly welcome in-kind donations, such as water, food for volunteers, printing, signage, equipment and other items in exchange for a sponsorship.
