Frequently Asked Questions

Do I have to be 50 to participate?

You have to turn 50 (or older) during the course of 2016 in order to participate in the Virginia Senior Games.  If you turn 50 AFTER the games but before 1/1/2017, you MAY participate.

How do I confirm that I'm registered?

Check your email inbox!  You will be emailed a confirmation to the email address you provided when you registered.


What if I didn't get the confirmation email?

You may not be registered.  The first page of the registration system requires that you use the blue "Next" button.  If you do not progress past this page, you have errors that are flagged in red - scroll up to see them.

If you get to the confirmation page, you must verify that the information you entered is what you intended, and then you must select "Submit".  Contact us if you think you registered but aren't certain.


What does "Address for Credit Card" mean at the bottom of the registration page?

That is the address where the statement for your credit card is mailed.  It most likely is your home address, but some people may have a different billing address.


I have questions regarding my sport - where can I look?

Your best bet is the Newport News Virginia Senior Games website.  Scroll down to "Individual Sport Information and Rules" and find your sport, then select it and go to the sport-specific page where you will see rules, schedules, maps, and chair contact information.



Do I have to pickup my registration packet before my event?  Can someone pick it up on my behalf?

You do NOT have to pickup your packet before your event, and you CAN have a friend or teammate pickup your packet for you.

If you do not pickup your packet at all, and then want your t-shirt later, there will be a $6 shipping charge to mail it to you.  Likewise, if you do not stay for the medals ceremony after your event, there will be a $6 shipping charge for your medal if you would like it shipped to you later as well.


Can I add an event on-site?

No!


Can I register after the 5/1 deadline?

No!  The only exceptions are if we are working on partnering players.


If I do not have a partner or team for partner/team events, what can I do?

  • Go ahead and register for the event and leave the partner/team name blank.
  • Then contact us and request to add a posting to the Athlete's Bulletin Board to seek a partner/team.
  • After registration closes, we will attempt to partner those players still in need of partners.  We are typically very successful at partnering.
  • If you find a partner before we do, contact us and let us know so that we may update your registration record and remove the post from the Athlete's Bulletin Board.
2016 Virginia Senior Games ATHLETE CHALLENGE

Virginia's Senior athletes represented the Commonwealth well at 2015 National Senior Games with a total of  140 medals (35 Gold, 55 Silver, 50 Bronze).  We want to rise in the National Ranks and need your help!

2016 VSG challenges each athlete to recruit an athlete for 2016!  Bring your family, friends, or maybe even your competitors!  The better the competition, the more representation for Virginia at the National level when the 2017 National Senior Games take place in Birmingham, Alabama.  

Even if you do not plan to partake in the 2017 National Senior Games, your participation and those of your "recruits" raise the bar for Virginia's athletes overall.
Days Until Registration Closes:  5
Days Until Competition Begins:  22
