Athlete Checklist


#1  Bring the hardcopy of your 2016 VSG Registration brochure with you - it contains a map, schedule, contact numbers, and lots of other information that you will find handy.  Lost your brochure?  Click on the brochure cover above and print your own copy.

#2  You might also find it helpful to bring a printed copy of your emailed registration confirmation.

#3  Account for traffic in your travels.  Weekdays are busy traffic times everywhere - give yourself plenty of extra time to arrive and prep for your competition.  The VSG Venue map on page 7 of your brochure should prove very helpful.

#4  Plan your schedule.  If you are competing in multiple events at different venues, map out your strategy to reach the venues ahead of time.

#5  You do not have to visit athlete check-in (Brittingham-Midtown Community Center) prior to competing, but please make every effort to stop by, or have someone do so on your behalf.  If a packet is not picked up, you will be charged for shipping should you request it later.

#6  Bring payment if you think you will want to purchase vintage t-shirts and other available gear at athlete check-in.

#7  Plan to attend the Athlete's Party on Friday evening, May 20, from 5-8pm at City Center at Oyster Point.  This is your opportunity to connect with other athletes and make plans for next year!  Friends and family are invited as well; this event is free and open to the public.

#8  Please make every effort to stay for the medals ceremony after each competition.  It is a simple way to show support for everyone's efforts.  If you do not stay and are awarded a medal, you will be charged a shipping cost should you request it later.

#9  Please be sure to thank the volunteers and staff for their efforts - it's no simple task to pull off an event of the size, nature, and demographics of the Virginia Senior Games.  Newport News Parks, Recreation and Tourism has set the bar high as they close out their 4 years as the Games host site!
Frequently Asked Questions

How do I confirm that I'm registered?

Check your email inbox!  You were 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 did not progress past this page, you had errors that were flagged in red.

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

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!
