The Future of the Senior Games in California
Last summer, over 1300 California Senior Athletes competed in the 2009 National Senior Games - the most participants ever from the State of California. Many more athletes were not able to compete, because they were unable to qualify at a State Championship. The Board of the California Senior Games is making every effort to communicate with senior athletes to encourage them to take part in the 8 regional Senior Games taking place during 2010 in California. Sites include: San Diego, Anaheim, Vacaville, Palm Desert, San Francisco Bay Area, Manteca and the first ever Winter Games at Dodge Ridge at Pine Crest. The State Championships, a qualifier for the 2011 National Senior Games in Houston, will be in Pasadena June 5 - 27. A complete list for all California Senior Games is available at www.californiaseniorgames.org.
