Veteran sports activities encompass organized sports and physical programs specifically designed for two groups: senior athletes (veterans of competitive sports) and military veterans. These initiatives promote physical fitness, mental well-being, and social connection and help reinforce a positive identity post-service or post-competition.

Activities range from traditional sports such as Masters athletics (track and field, etc.) to adaptive sports tailored for veterans with disabilities. Community-driven programs—like Veterans India—also play a vital role in promoting national health, patriotism, and community engagement through sports.

By participating in these programs, veterans not only maintain their health and mobility but also regain a sense of purpose, camaraderie, and pride through structured and inclusive sporting experiences.
