Basketball Coaches and Players Warming Up for the Senior Games

Seniors from across Cabarrus are working out and getting in step at the Cabarrus County Senior Centers for the 2022 Senior Games. The Senior Games encourage older adults to be more active, learn new skills, make/renew friendships, renew old talents, live better and healthier lives, and have fun.

Anyone age 50 and older by December 31, 2022 can participate in the competition, which is open to all skill levels. The games are sanctioned by North Carolina Senior Games, Inc., and sponsored statewide by the North Carolina Division of Aging and Adult Services.

Athletic events include pickleball, walking, bowling, cornhole, swimming, track and field events, basketball shooting, tennis, cycling, croquet, football throw, and softball.

Residents who enjoy performing or visual arts can take part in the SilverArts competition. Through SilverArts, residents can compete in various categories including cheerleading and performing, visual, heritage and literary arts.

The competition divides events into five-year age groups by gender, except for mixed doubles and Silver Arts. Top medalists go on to represent Cabarrus County in the North Carolina Senior Games State Finals.

Events

Opening Ceremonies will take place on April 4 at 11 am at the Frank Liske Park amphitheater.

Lunch follows at a cost of $3.
