WAGA 2015 Taekwondo

Welcome to the WA Games 2015!

WA Game is ideal for those athletes who have little to no experience in prior tournaments. The structure and format of this event promotes a safe, nurturing and fun environment to support the growth of athletes.

WA Games Taekwondo is a proud component of the SUBWAY® Washington Games. SUBWAY® Washington Games is the banner program of the Powered by Youth fitness movement, representing over 20 sports the SUBWAY® Washington Games drew over 9,000 participants and thousands more spectators. Whether you are 6 or 60 years of age. Come join us. Learn, practice, and compete at the WA Games.

We extend our gratitude to the Seattle Sports Commission for their sponsorship. Without their help the WA Games would not be a reality. Also my heartfelt gratitude to hundreds of volunteers who donate their time selflessly. Also without them the WA Games logistically would not be possible.

However you experience the WA Games, whether as an Athlete, a Coach, a Parent or as a Master, we sincerely hope that the memories you create here at the Games will be successful and positive.

“After attending tournament after tournament. Our parents, competitors and coaches wanted something different. We wanted to gather together in a fun atmosphere and celebrate the day”

We began just like you. Sitting all day on an flat bleacher,

packed into a stuffy gym like sardines.

After attending tourna-ment after tournament. Our parents, competitors and coaches wanted some-thing different. We wanted to gather together in a fun atmosphere and celebrate the day of competiton with

friends and families we met at other events.

What better way to do that during our awesome Seattle summer then in an outdoor/indoor venue. Seattle has one of the most beautiful park systems in the country and Sandpoint Magnuson park happens to be the best in Seattle.

Bring your family, bring your dog and enjoy the day with us!

2014 WA Games goes off without a hitch. . Thank you to all who participated in this years WA Games! With your support and participation 2014 WAGA was AWESOME!!! We promise to work hard through out the year to make 2015 even better!
