Off the Field

There's something special about arriving in Alice Springs for the Friendly Games. For some, it's a chance to reconnect with teammates and familiar faces they've met over the years. For others, it's the excitement of experiencing the Games for the very first time.

As competitors collect their accreditation, check their sporting schedules and prepare for the week ahead, there's plenty to look forward to. From friendly rivalries and personal bests to shared laughs and new friendships, the Games have always been about more than medals.

And as we celebrate 40 years of the Alice Springs Masters Games, one thing remains unchanged — it's the people who make the Friendly Games so special.
