About The Games
About Us:
Badger State Games is an iconic sports series celebrating over 30 years of offering individuals and teams of all ages the opportunity to compete in a variety of amateur events in the style of the Olympic Games. Born in Wisconsin, the Badger State Games take place mainly in Central Wisconsin however events can also be found in areas such as Oshkosh, LaCrosse, and more! We are the host to both summer and winter games offering something for everyone. All events have multiple divisions allowing everyone from amateurs to experienced athletes to participate. Each year we look to bring new and exciting events to our line ups, especially those events that are featured in the State Games of America. All athletes who medal in the Badger State Games are invited to participate in the State Games of America giving you the chance to be along side athletes from all over the country!
We welcome all new events. If you have an idea for events you would like to add, or see added, to the Winter or Summer games please feel free to contact us with your thoughts!

Athlete Assistance Fund
Through contributions from the Wisconsin Sports Foundation, Ministry Health Care, and the Wausau/Central Wisconsin Convention & Visitors Bureau, Badger State Games has created a special fund to provide financial assistance to ensure no one is denied the opportunity to compete in the Badger State Games due to financial reasons. This fund has been created to pay for entry fees for children who cannot afford the cost of registration.
The following application form should be submitted along with the attached sport registration form.
Badger State Games Entry Fee Assistance Request Form
There are no specific criteria for qualification. However, this assistance is intended for individuals who would like to participate, but are unable due to financial difficulties.
