Age categories
Men & Women: 30+, 35+, 40+, 45+, 50+, 55+, 60+, 65+, 70+, 75+
The age category you will compete in for Basketball will be determined as at 31 December of the year of the event. For teams, the category you compete in is based on the age of the youngest team member. For example, if your youngest team member is 39 during Games time but has turned 40 by 31 December, you would compete in the 40+ age category.

Events and disciplines
“The IMGA doesn’t allow building new venues and encourages the host cities to use existing facilities to keep the costs lower. Therefore, all sport information is subject to changes depending on the venues available.”
Athlete Comments & Reviews
“A sport festival like the Olympics, open to everyone!”
“My Masters team family is amazing. After being a full time athlete when I was younger and then retiring and then coming back into it. It was amazing. This was my Olympics!”
“The vibe and atmosphere is just amazing”
“I’m being really impressed by our results, everyone has tried their hardest. We’ve got the medals. You feel good. It’s just a lovely vibe, it’s been a very friendly atmosphere, everyone has been very welcoming, it’s been very well organised and we’re very grateful for that.”
“Inspiration everywhere to just get up and do it!”
“You watch the Olympics and people are in awe of performance. You watch an event like this, you know the 40, 50, 60 year old age group, hopefully it inspires people to get out of the arm chair and say: ‘Actually, I could do that!”
