MISSION STATEMENT

Southeast Idaho Senior Games is committed to providing adults, age 50 and better, with an opportunity and motivation to participate at Local, State and National games in events that promote physical, mental, social and emotional well-being.

SPIRIT of PARTICIPATION

The Portneuf Medical Center Southeast Idaho Senior Games values the concept of participation, active living and healthy lifestyles. The Senior Games accomplishes these goals through competitive activities in a number of events. Though activities are designed so that persons compete against others of similar skill levels and age groups, at times it becomes necessary to modify competitions so that all persons have an equal opportunity to participate. This can and does at times include competing against others of different ages, skill levels and possibly adjusted tournament scheduling/bracketing. Medals are still awarded appropriately to proper age group finishers and every effort is made to keep competition within the age group brackets.

COVID CONCERNS 2021

The Southeast Idaho Public Health Department (SIPH) has cleared the Games to move forward. As per directions of SIPH we will be following the CDC Guidelines at the times the games start. This may include participants wearing masks. Coordinators will let participants know the expectations at their individual events. The Southeast Idaho Senior Games Board feels the safety of participants is of utmost importance and that participants should respect other participants and do their part to help keep everyone safe as possible. We ask those who are not willing to follow the CDC and Venue Guidelines which could mean potentially wearing a mask or face shield to not participate in the games.
