Our Goals

  • Provide participants with an opportunity to test their skills in a competitive (yet friendly) arena that will reward them for their preparation and continued desire to lead a healthy lifestyle.
  • Encourage participants to meet new people who have similar goals and interests in hopes of expanding their network of friends.
  • Showcase the athletes' talents before an audience of volunteers who will hopefully gain an appreciation for their commitment to lifelong activity and fitness.

"These athletes exemplify the spirit of the Senior Games, showing their commitment to fitness, competition, and community can thrive at any age. Their achievements inspire others to stay active and engaged."
