The games are a way for senior residents to stay active, to foster competition and community, and above all else to have fun in their golden years.
That's the slogan for the 2023 Delaware County Senior Games.
The 10-day Olympic-style multi-sport program is open to residents of the county who are 50 years and older.Linda Zappacosta from Folsom, Pennsylvania, has been attending the senior games since she retired. "I love them. It's an opportunity to meet new people and a challenge to stay physically fit. I have a blast," said Zappacosta."It's emotional well-being as well. You feel better when you're out and about," she said.
The senior games consist of several different sports at different locations across the county. Residents of all athletic abilities are encouraged to attend. The games include pickleball, swimming, track and field, golf, bocce, horseshoes, table tennis, Wii Sports, shuffleboard and much more."I've never done this kind of shuffleboard before, but I expect a gold medal," she says."Definitely need some energy for this game, you need skill, hand-eye coordination. But we're having fun. You hang around your friends, you're picking up pointers.
