Berea College’s Seabury Athletic Center will be the location for most of the competitions to be held for all persons who are fifty years old and over.  Did you know studies show that, in the long term, it hurts people’s health far more by not exercising than by exercising? “As a rule, as we age, people should stay as physically active as possible. Most people know that exercise is good for them. Somehow, though, aging adults have been left out of the picture -- until recently. (WebMd Newsletter, 2008)

Dr. Martha Beagle, Professor of Physical Education, Health and Athletics, said that she sees these games as an amazing opportunity for their Athletic Department, the students, and the entire Bluegrass community.  She added “This is a wonderful professional experience for me as well.”  Athletic events will include: badminton, basketball, cycling, golf, racquetball, softball, swimming, track & field, volleyball, and tennis.
