Pasadena Senior Olympics - Entry Information ELIGIBILITY The California Senior Games Association ("CSGA") has determined that any person age 50 years or older as of December 31, 2003 may participate in the Pasadena Senior Olympics ("PSO"). Proof of age may be required. The PSO is open to California residents and non-residents. AGE DIVISIONS Age divisions for all individual/doubles events are in 5-year groups for both men and women beginning at age 50 up to and including 100+. The division you will compete in is determined by your age as of December 31, 2003 except for Race Walk and Track & Field where the division is your age as of the day of the meet, June 14, 2003. Age divisions for team sports (Basketball, Soccer, Softball, and Volleyball) are 50+, 55+, 60+, 65+, 70+, and 75+. The age division for all doubles events and team sports is determined by the age of the youngest player as of December 31, 2003. The right is reserved to combine age groups in any event due to insufficient entries or other conditions. A full refund will be given in the case of cancellation by the PSO. ENTRY GUIDELINES You may enter any sport or event subject to the entry limitations of that sport. Each partner in a doubles competition must submit an individual Entry Application. Basketball, Soccer, Softball, and Volleyball players wishing to also participate in an individual sport must complete their own Applications and remit the proper fees. Team captains (Basketball, Soccer, Softball, and Volleyball) must submit a roster of players with the Entry Application. AVOID CONFLICTS Those planning to enter multiple sports or events should check the competition schedule for possible conflicts. No event will be delayed due to a conflicting schedule. NOVICE DIVISIONS You do not need to be an expert to participate in the Senior Olympics. All activities are open to novices. Levels of competition will vary from sport to sport. FEES There are 2 types of fees: Registration and Event fees. A $26 Registration Fee for each individual participant (except Badminton, Fun Walk, Lawn Bowling, Rope Climb and Shuffleboard) and each team covers the administrative costs of the Games and includes a T-shirt, Official Program, Goody Bag, Results Book, admission to the Closing Ceremonies Bar-B-Que, and much more. Event fees for specific activities, which cover the actual sport expenses, are listed on the Schedule of Events. PAYMENT METHODS AND INFORMATION Payment for Registration and Event Fees may be made in any of the following ways: Cash, Money Order or Check made payable to the Pasadena Senior Center, or Credit Card (Visa or Master Card only).
