About the St. Louis Senior Olympics
Join our Facebook group for more Senior Olympics fun!
The St. Louis Senior Olympics is a Masters-style athletic competition that promotes the life long health and wellness of people over 50 by providing opportunities to participate in competitive sports and social events. Participants must turn 50 by December 31 of the competition year.
St. Louis is proud to host one of the most prestigious Senior Games in the country. With the help of 300+ volunteers, more than 1,200 athletes are able to participate in more than 90 events over Memorial Day Weekend each year.
The St. Louis Senior Olympics (SLSO) and the J believe everyone deserves to participate in a safe and welcoming community. We are committed to creating an atmosphere where all athletes, staff and volunteers feel safe, supported, respected, empowered, and equal. SLSO welcomes all athletes, staff and volunteers who are transgender and/or non-binary. All athletes who are transgender will participate in categories that reflect their gender identity. SLSO allows athletes who identify as non-binary to choose the gender category in which to compete throughout the games.
