SERIES INFORMATION: In order to qualify for the 2026 State Games of America, athletes must meet the following eligibility requirements.
 
Keystone Games Eligible Athletes: YOU CAN COMPETE!
Due to the volume of participants and limited competition slots at the SGA in Figure Skating, PA participants and NCSG Neighboring State Policy Athletes must have competed (no medal required) in any of the 2024, 2025, or 2026 qualifying events to be eligible.

If divisions are not filled by December 1, 2025, the tournament director may open registration to all PA residents and neighboring state athletes.
 
Non-Keystone Games Eligible Athletes: YOU MUST QUALIFY!
If you’re an athlete coming from one of the other 30+ National Congress of State Games (NCSG) Member State programs, qualification is more extensive. Here’s how you may have qualified depending on the year you competed in an NCSG Member State program:

• 2024: All gold, silver, and bronze medalists qualify from NCSG Member State programs, both Winter and Summer.
• 2025: All gold, silver, and bronze medalists qualify from NCSG Member State programs, both Winter and Summer.
• 2026: (before July 1): All gold, silver, and bronze medalists qualify from NCSG Member State programs, both Winter and Summer.
• Any medalist from the 2022 and/or 2024 SGA qualifies to compete at the State Games of America in State College 2026.

Note: Any athlete who has qualified in any event within a particular sport will be eligible to participate in all applicable events within said sport. i.e. a skater who only competed in freestyle at their qualifier is eligible to register for all events such as dance, showcase, jumps and spins.
