Cleveland County Senior Games, April 11-15, 2011. Cleveland County Senior Games is a part of the North Carolina Senior Games, which are held throughout our state. Senior Adults, age 55 (by December 31, 2011) and above in Cleveland County are eligible to participate in these games. Local medal winners (golfers must meet minimum performance scores to compete at the State Finals) are eligible to qualify for the State Games. The State Finals will be held in Raleigh, September 26-Oct 1, 2011. Gardner-Webb University is the host for opening ceremonies on Monday, April 11th at 9:00 a.m. with many track and field events to follow. The closing-awards ceremonies will be held at the Neal Senior Center on Friday, April 29, 2011 at 6:00 p.m. The series of athletic/recreational events will be held throughout Cleveland and Gaston Counties, at the following locations: The Leona Smith Neal Center, Gardner-Webb University, Crest High School, Kings Mountain High School, Dover YMCA, Pine Grove Golf Course, Challenger Three Amusement Park, Shelby City Park and AMF Gastonia Lanes (transportation to the AMF Gastonia Lanes will be provided for up to 14 individuals – first come, first serve). Join the friendly competition and choose from indoor and outdoor activities. Remember the F words: Fun, Family, Fellowship and Fitness are the key components of Senior Games. Cleveland County’s Senior Games motto is “Fitness for the Fun of It! According to the NC Senior Games, Inc. “you don’t grow old from playing, you grow old from not playing.” Physical activity not only helps keep adults physically fit, but believe it or not it helps keep them mentally fit as well because activity creates or rather helps new brain cells grow. New brain cell growth helps slow the onset of age related dementia, so help your body and your brain, become active in Senior Games. PLEASE NOTE: The Cleveland County Senior Games/SilverArts program will strictly enforce and adhere to the entry deadlines in fairness to all athletes/artists. This rule is upheld by North Carolina Senior Games, Inc. for State Finals and our Local Senior Games is emulating the state organization. Early Bird Deadline: March 28, 2011 (entry fee = $10) and final deadline for all entry forms is 5:00 pm on April 1, 2011 (entry fee = $15).
