The Texas Amateur Athletic Federation (TAAF) Winter

Games of Texas return to Pearland for the second

year on January 18-20, 2019. Sanctioned by TAAF,

the three-day event is a sports festival created for

Texas amateur athletes of all ages and skill levels

patterned after the Olympic Games. Amateur athletes

are invited to register for their preferred sport

with over 15 different competitions ranging from archery

to tennis.

Registration is officially open for the TAAF Winter

Games of Texas online at www.TAAF.com. Events

will play out at various venues throughout Pearland

thanks in large part to a partnership with the Pearland

Independent School District.

Support by local sports organizations helped event

organizers identify a variety of events including: archery,

adult and youth basketball, adult and youth

football, golf, gymnastics, adult kickball, lacrosse,

martial arts, pickleball, powerlifting, soccer, softball,

swimming and tennis.

The Pearland event is the final opportunity to

qualify for the 2019 State Games of America held in

Lynchburg, VA in the summer of 2019. Eligible medal

winners from the Pearland event can compete on a

national platform.

“We’re very proud to welcome athletes and coach es

from across the state to Pearland for the second

year of the TAAF Winter Games of Texas,” says Kim

Sinistore, executive director of the Pearland Convention

& Visitors Bureau. “The Winter Games of Texas

is a great opportunity to showcase our destination.”

Pearland’s easy access to Houston area amenities

and a short drive from William P. Hobby

Airport are just a few of the reasons

why Pearland is so popular with

sports planners. Visitors enjoy amazing,

local cuisine, family-friendly craft

breweries, plenty of shopping options

& year-round events in Pearland.

“The Texas Amateur Athletic Federation

is extremely excited to return

to Pearland, TX for the 2019 TAAF

Winter Games of Texas. The City of

Pearland has rolled out the welcome

mat and we are expecting even larger

numbers in all of the events,” according

to Mark Lord, executive director of

TAAF.
