Frequently Asked Questions

IPRA's Six County Senior Games is open registration to all active adults ages 50+. You do not need to live in the Six County area to compete.
Stay tuned for 2026 registration dates. Note: Pickleball events are likely to sell out prior to the deadline — once your age bracket is full, you will be waitlisted.
Medals are awarded based on each age category. Your age is whatever age you are by the end of 2026. If your partner is in a different age category, you will play in the category of the youngest player.
Team sports (softball, volleyball, 3v3 basketball) have their own separate registration page. One designated "captain" registers and pays the full team fee — similar to registering for a community recreation league. The captain then collects payment from teammates.
If registering for Pickleball, use the Pickleball-specific registration page. There will be an area to list additional non-pickleball events. If those events have an additional fee, you will be sent an invoice.
Yes — click the link in your confirmation email to add or remove an event, change a partner, or make other updates. Changes can be made through June 20, 2026. If your partner is not registered by the June 20 deadline, the event registration will be canceled.
Some events have higher fees due to facility costs, referees, and other needs. Additional fees upon registration: 9-hole golf & 18-hole golf. Additional facility fees onsite: Bowling $4/game, Trap Shoot $6/round, Skeet Shoot $6/round.
Each participant must bring their own equipment, which must meet all regulations of the competition. The chairperson of each event has the authority to make final calls and decisions.
Cancellations made up to 24 hours in advance will receive a full refund. Please allow up to two weeks for processing. There will be no refunds for no-shows.
The Six County Senior Games has authority to cancel any event due to conditions that might affect participant safety. To find out if your event will be held, call (847) 804-4876. Indoor facilities are available for track and field events and pickleball.
