For next summer, please note: per the TSO Board, participation in a 2025 District Games will be required in order to qualify for the 2026 State Finals.
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 district and make the most of this journey towards health and wellness.
