American Cornhole Organization, the ACO, Partners with National Senior Games to Add Cornhole to 2022 Slate of Sport Competitions

ACO and National Senior Games present Cornhole, in its inaugural year, to its slate of sport events at the 2022 competition.

The 2022 National Senior Games will be held May 10-23, 2022 in Fort Lauderdale, Florida at the Greater Fort Lauderdale / Broward County Convention Center. There are 13,000 Athletes aged 50 – 100+ expected to attend and participate in the events.

This year Cornhole will be introduced to the Senior Games and in this inaugural year there is no qualification required. It is considered an Open Sport.  See National Senior Games for more detail.               

Begun in 1987 and held every other year, The National Senior Games became the largest qualified multisport event in the world when a record number of 13,712 athletes age 50 to 100+ competed at the 2019 Games in Albuquerque, New Mexico. Athletes are already buzzing about a big reunion at the 2022 National Senior Games presented by Humana, coming to Greater Fort Lauderdale, Florida from May 10-23, 2022.

While most of the 22 sports require athletes to qualify through one of the National Senior Games Association’s 52 Member Games, qualifying is not required when newer sports are added.                                            

Cornhole competition is scheduled from Friday, May 20 through Sunday May 22 at the Broward County Convention Center, the hub of fun, fitness and fellowship at the National Senior Games. Competition will be in Singles, Doubles and Mixed Doubles.

As this is the Inaugural Year for Cornhole to the National Senior Games some lucky participants will have their names etched into the Record Book in a very prominent spot. Register today for that opportunity.
