College Sports Information Directors of America

Most of the states in the U.S.A. have created Olympic-style amateur events that provide for competition at all age levels and in a wide variety of sports. In an effort to help sports information directors find out how to participate in, or work at, their respective State Games, the following list has been compiled by the CoSIDA Allied Organizations Committee. When available, contact phone numbers and e-mail addresses have been included. The web site for each State Game also is listed. An additional event this summer will be the State Games of America, hosted in Colorado Springs, Colo., from August 2-5. The State Games of America are held every other year, with competition involving athletes who have placed in an event at one of the State Games over the previous two summers.

Also, the Allied Organizations Committee needs additional members. If you are interested in serving on this committee, please contact Robert McKinney of Willamette University, Allied Organizations Chair, or Debbie Copp at the University of Oklahoma, Committee on Committees Chair. McKinney may be reached at (503) 370-6110 or rmckinne@willamette.edu. Copp may be reached at (405) 325-8367 or dcopp@ou.edu.
