Louisiana Senior Olympians hope to
Strike Gold in the 2009 National Games
in San Francisco, CA

In order to qualify to compete at the national level, these seniors had to meet certain qualification times or distances at the Louisiana Senior Olympic Games (LSOG) held this fall.

The Louisiana seniors competed in 18 different events, including cycling, golf, track and field, road racing, volleyball, basketball, horseshoes, race walking, shuffleboard, softball, bowling, racquetball, table tennis, swimming, tennis, archery, and badminton.

The National Senior Games, like the Louisiana Senior Games, are dedicated to promoting healthy lifestyles for adults over 50 years of age through education, fitness and sports.

In Louisiana, regional senior competitions are held throughout the state, and in some cases, participants must qualify to go to the state competition. The state competition, which includes 28 sports, were held in Baton Rouge from mid-September through October.

The next National Senior Games will be held in 2009 in San Francisco, CA. Be sure to qualify at the 2008 Louisiana State Games, which will be held in September and October 2008.

For more information on becoming a participant in the Senior Games, see the Louisiana Senior Olympic Games website: www.lsog.net; or call 1-800-799-8309.

Part of the challenge of running a non-profit organization is funding.  The LSOG relies heavily upon most of its funding from public and private funds and individuals.

Please make an extra donation today to keep the LSOG State Games going strong. 

Some non-members tell us they think LSOG memberships are for individuals who plan to participate in the State Games.  The truth is ANYONE who believes in Louisiana Senior Olympics can show their support and join the LSOG now.  Your $10 dues represent less than 10% of our operating revenue generated each year.  That revenue stream will increase when membership levels grow.  Your friends, family and neighbors are urged to support the LSOG.  We ask every member to bring us one new paid member in 2008.  You must be a 2008 LSOG Member to receive an entry form for the 2008 State Championship.

Donations, in remembrance of our deceased athletes, are accepted.  Please forward your donation and the athlete's information to us.  An announcement will be made to our membership.  The athlete's name will be added to a memorial plaque on permanent display in the LSOG office.
