LATEST NEWS:
On August 19-20, 2020, our Arkansas Senior Olympic Board voted & decided to CANCEL ALL SPORTS events for our 2020 Arkansas Senior Olympic Games.
Their decision was not an easy one, but please know respectfully for YOUR SAFETY and the safety of all athletes and their families, and all volunteers, they decided to forego ALL SPORTS events in 2020. Many venues here in Arkansas are closed for large gatherings both for indoor and outdoor events, and so between Covid19 and limited venues available for our sports events, the Board voted as majority to have “NO GAMES AT ALL FOR this 2020 year.”
So, we send our best to each of you, and we encourage you to keep moving! We plan to resume our Arkansas Games in 2021, and we also look forward to seeing you here. We have already begun planning for our 2021 Games. On behalf of our Board Members, we wish that you and your family stay SAFE and stay HEALTHY & ACTIVE!!!!
Contact me anytime to tell me about your accomplishments, or to give me your feedback. As always, I am blessed to know each of you (as you are my friends) and I thank you for the opportunity to be involved with the NSGA and the Arkansas Senior Olympics.
Greg Eberdt
Executive Director
Arkansas Senior Olympics
NOTE: If you have already registered for 2020 Games here in Arkansas, since we now have canceled all events (COVID19), then refunds will be issued back to you, minus a $10 processing fee. Example: if you paid say $45, then $35 will be refunded.
