Corporate Games Registration

SIKESTON – Registration is now underway for the 13th edition of the Sikeston Corporate Games June 6-26.

The Corporate Games afford local companies a good opportunity for internal team building and company pride (not to mention a little exercise) through friendly competition with other area companies. Winners earn trophies and medals which, by the way, look great in the company break room or trophy case.

It’s also a chance for the employees of different companies to get to know others in the area’s corporate community. Besides that, the Corporate Games are fun!

There are 15 different events offered – basketball, coed bowling, coed football challenge (punt, pass, and kick), coed 8-ball, coed sand volleyball, coed tennis, coed softball, golf, coed aqualympics (rubber raft races, inner tube races, etc.), horseshoes, fishing, coed pyramid relay, coed canoe races, coed tug-of-war, and coed team triathlon (3-legged race, sack race, water balloon toss). There’s something for both jocks and the less athletic to enjoy. The whole thing kicks off on a fun note with a Trivia Contest on June 3 at the Clinton Building.

For a $550 entry fee, the cost for entering all 15 events plus the Trivia Contest is covered. Smaller companies have the option of paying entry fees for specific events and entering the games on a limited basis. Team points are earned in each of the events by the top six finishers. At the end of the games, the companies with the top three point totals receive team awards.

If your company would like to get in on the action in this year’s Corporate Games, contact Jiggs Moore, Parks and Recreation Director, at 475-3725 for more information. Entry deadline is Friday, February 26.
