I am guessing that because of my email being listed on this site I have been getting emails for weeks inviting me to participate in the California State Games and I have also been solicited to participate in the Rocky Mountain State Games.
The main purpose of these games is to provide a chance for personal development through sports for all age groups and people of various socio-economic backgrounds. In my humble opinion, if athletes outside of our state boarders are interested in competing at the SSG, we in Kansas should take pride and roll out the welcome MATS (pardon the pun)! I don’t think any of the SSG events screen for "Kansas" residency...but I will double check with those in charge.
I hope this answers your questions. Thank you.
