The SMSG is a member of the National Congress of State Games and the United States Olympic Committee. SMSG is a program of the Missouri Governor's Council on Physical Fitness and Health, . The name derives from the state's official nickname, the "Show-Me State." [1]
The Show-Me State Games has expanded from 600 participants in 1985, [2] to more than 34,000 year-round participants in 2014. In addition to three weekends in the summer, the Show-Me STATE GAMES hosts events throughout the year, including basketball tournaments, soccer events, swimming events, triathlons, and a statewide Torch Run. The mission of the SMSG is to provide all Missourians the opportunity to "take part in an event of health, fitness, family and fun".
