About the North Carolina Senior Games
North Carolina Senior Games (NCSG) began in 1983 with a vision to create a year-round health promotion and wellness education program for adults 55 years of age and better (the age is now 50+). The Senior Games’ mission is truly grassroots in North Carolina and has placed our State far beyond other states with a structure that is participant-driven.
Haywood County, Charlotte, and Wilmington were the first three Local Games in 1983, and served as the role models for other communities to begin Local Games. Seventeen Local Senior Games were held state-wide in 1984 and twenty-two in 1985, the year the First Annual North Carolina Senior Games State Finals were hosted in Raleigh. What happens in our own backyards daily and weekly is most important. Senior Games has always been a ‘bottom-up’ organization. The purpose of offering Local Games the first three years in our state was so other communities and NCSG could watch and learn from the model programs. Now there are more than 50 Local Games serving all 100 counties in North Carolina.
