Nov. 9, 2024—Online registration for qualified athletes to participate in the 2025 National Senior Games opened Oct. 29 with the exception of pickleball, which opens Jan. 30. Each qualifying state has until Nov. 27 to submit the results of their games to the National Senior Games Association for verification. Athletes cannot register until their results are verified.

In Maryland, the results for all sports played through August have been submitted and awaiting verification. The September-October results are still in our hands. In other words, qualifiers through MSO can’t register just yet. In the meantime, here are some helpful tips:
