Seniors National Games 2026: Over 6,000 Seniors Compete in Adaptive Sports

Age is very much just a number at the Seniors National Games (SNG). The second edition wrapped up at OCBC Arena on 4 August 2026, capping weeks of spirited competition among more than 6,000 seniors aged 60 and above from close to 130 Active Ageing Centres (AACs) and grassroots organisations across the island.

Five adaptive sports, one big community

Organised by Sport Singapore as part of GetActive!, the Games brought seniors together through five adaptive sports: Boccia, Disc Golf, Ladder Toss, Seated Floorball and Sport Stacking. Designed to be accessible regardless of mobility, the line-up gave participants a chance to stay active, forge friendships and build community spirit, proving that competitive sport has no upper age limit.

Aim, toss, stack

From the precision of Boccia to the hand-eye challenge of Disc Golf and Ladder Toss, the events rewarded focus and teamwork over raw athleticism, making them ideal for keeping older adults moving and mentally sharp.
