TAAF Games of Texas
The crown jewel in the TAAF organization is the Games of Texas. The Games of Texas is the ultimate amateur athletic sports festival for Texas' many athletes. Established in 1986, the Games is patterned after the Olympic Games and U.S. Olympic Sports Festivals. The Games provides a forum for training and competition among Texas' own Olympic hopefuls, as well as both youth and adult recreational athletes, with participant ages ranging from 4 to 84. Since 1991, the U.S. Olympic Committee has recognized the TAAF Games of Texas as an official State Games.
