We again look forward to coming together for these, our Thirtieth Annual Nevada Senior Games. It is a great tradition that began in 1980 and has grown steadily. Our organization takes pride in making this event inclusive for all active seniors age 50 and older by creating a forum for both the world class athletes who compete for national ranking, and those who compete merely for fun and fitness.
Our Motto is “Fitness for the Fun of it” and “FUN” is the key word, for if you are engage in a fitness program that is not fun, there is not much chance that you will remain dedicated. Witness the many senior athletes who travel all over the United States and the world to compete in their favorite sport, not for monetary compensation, but to meet with comrades and participate in the fun of friendly competition. Winning a championship or a gold medal is merely the icing on the cake.
This year you will see a revised entry fee and an early registration incentive to make the the Games accessible to more seniors. Look for the registration packet to be online by mid to late March 2010. We are trying to get a good jump start on nailing down venues so you can have more time to prepare, plan and enjoy this years games.
Years from now we may forget who won the gold, silver or bronze, but we will always treasure the memories and friendships we made.
This year is a qualifying year for those interested in participating at the national level. The National Senior Games will be held in Houston, Texas in 2011. |
