We are delighted to announce that the 2010 Bay Area Senior Games will be held April 10-14 at Stanford University and other venues in the San Francisco Bay Area.

"During last summer's successful 2009 Summer National Senior Games, many people contacted us to find out how they could get involved and participate. The Bay Area Senior Games is our legacy and our commitment to exercise and health at any age", explained Anne Warner Cribbs, 1960 Olympian, President of the Local Organizing Committee for the 2009 National Senior Games, and now heading up the 2010 Bay Area Senior Games.

The Games will feature eleven competitions in Swimming, Track & Field, Cycling, Racquetball, Fencing, Golf, Soccer, 3 v 3 Basketball, Race Walking, Softball, Water Polo, and Lawn Bowling. Water Polo, Soccer, Fencing and Lawn Bowling were demonstration sports at the 2009 National Senior Games and have been added to the program. In addition, a Bay Area Senior Games Golf Tournament will be played at Stanford Golf Course on Tuesday, April 13.

The 2010 Bay Area Senior Games will again be centered at the world-class athletic facilities at Stanford University. The only sports not to be staged on campus are Cycling (Cañada Road, San Mateo County), Softball (Twin Creeks), and Lawn Bowling (Palo Alto Lawn Bowls) "We are very happy to welcome the Bay Area Senior Games back to Stanford", said Deputy Athletic Director Ray Purpur. "This event encourages Californians over 50 to keep fit and live healthy, a message the University wholeheartedly supports."
