Event Directors Needed
You may have noticed there are only three events posted for the 2023 Games, and you may be wondering why. The answer is this; if we do not have an Event Director for an Event, we cannot produce the Event. We do have a few more possible Games to post, but more details are needed before they are posted. Here is a list of Event Directors needed for the 2023-2024 Games: Archery, Bag Toss, Basketball Shooting, Bowling, Cycling, Field Events, Fitness Challenge, Golf par 72, Shuffleboard, Tennis, Texas Hold’em, Track, Washer Toss, and Weight Pentathlon.

Also new for 2025, are medals and T-Shirts. The medal was designed with specific symbols celebrating the nature of the games and Florida. The spiritual significance of the seagull represents fearlessness, perseverance, and freedom. The sand dollar represents rebirth, renewal, and transformation while the starfish represents good luck, love, and blessings. All are captured in a setting sun with ribbons complementing the medal colors.
Please bring your protein and beverage for refueling and hydration and join us for camaraderie, fun, and friendly competition. Share with your family and friends. We look forward to seeing you. It’s time to get your game on!
Best to all,
Michael R Smith
The Good Life Games (GLG) is an all-volunteer, non-profit 501c3 corporation. We are dedicated to qualifying seniors to participate in the Florida Senior Games, where they can qualify for the Florida State and National Senior Games. We partner with businesses and cities in Pinellas County to provide venues and volunteers.
Our annual competitions typically take place in February, March, and April. The Good Life Games currently offer three sports: Golf, Pickleball, and Swimming. ** Four new sports will be added for 2025! To Be Announced in 2025 the GLG will introduce four new sports; Bowling, Basketball, Archery, and Bag Toss! ** Please check back for updates. The Florida State and National Senior Games feature similar sports as well as non-ambulatory games such as bowling, cornhole, and shuffleboard.
To make these games a success, we rely on the support of Recreation Centers, Sports Clubs, Coaches, Trainers, and Athletes who step forward and become Good Life Games Event Directors.
In addition to the existing events, we are actively seeking Event Directors for Swimming, Bowling, Basketball, Corn Hole (Bag Toss) Archery, and Shuffleboard. If you have a passion for any of these activities and/or would like to contribute to our event, we would love to have you join our team.
We are also seeking sponsors who are interested in marketing to active seniors. If you are interested in supporting our cause and reaching this vibrant demographic, we would be thrilled to discuss sponsorship opportunities with you.
Lastly, we seek dedicated leaders to join our Board of Directors. If you are interested in an active senior community and willing to contribute your expertise, we invite you to join the Good Life Games. Specifically for 2024/2025, we would like to add a Marketing and Advertising Board Member.
