About the Seniors National Games

The Seniors National Games is a national competition designed to inspire active lifestyles amongst Singapore's senior community. We believe it is fun to be active through the power of sport. We aim to create positive change and provide meaningful competition opportunities that keep seniors engaged in regular physical activity.

Beyond competition, the Games nurture a supportive and vibrant community by creating volunteering opportunities, and offering adaptive sports and other enjoyable sporting activities. This holistic approach ensures seniors can continue to experience the physical, mental, and social benefits of staying active—while having fun along the way.

The inaugural Seniors National Games (SNG) is a key highlight of the National Celebration of Seniors (NCOS), marking an important milestone in promoting active and healthy ageing in Singapore. The Games unfold in two exciting phases: Zonal Heats and the Finals. The SNG Finals will serve as a signature highlight, coinciding with the NCOS opening ceremony to celebrate our seniors' achievements on a national stage.

Community Partnership

Active Ageing Centres (AACs) play a pivotal role by organising community-based play sessions and selecting representatives from their centres. Supported by the Agency for Integrated Care (AIC), which provides the main network to reach seniors through AACs, this grassroots approach ensures mass participation and fosters strong community connections through sport.

Our Vision

The SNG aims to inspire seniors nationwide to embrace an active lifestyle through adaptive sports, creating positive change and lasting motivation. By providing competition opportunities, we aim to sustain seniors' interest in physical activity and promote healthy living.

Games

This year’s competition features five adaptive sports specially selected to engage seniors of all abilities:

Seated Floorball

A dynamic team sport where seniors play from a seated position, using lightweight sticks to pass and shoot a plastic ball, encouraging teamwork and agility.

Ladder Toss

This outdoor game challenges seniors to throw bolas onto a three-rung ladder, combining accuracy and strategy.

Sport Stacking

An engaging activity that involves stacking and unstacking plastic cups in specific sequences, promoting hand-eye coordination, speed, and concentration.

Disc Golf

A fun and accessible sport combining frisbee throwing and golf-style scoring, where players toss discs into metal baskets in the fewest throws.

Boccia

A precision ball sport where seniors aim to place leather balls closest to a target ball (jack), emphasizing strategy and control.

Government officials will never ask you to transfer money or disclose bank log-in details over a phone call.
