More than 700 senior athletes will compete next week for gold, silver and bronze medals in a variety of Olympic-style sports as they demonstrate their athletic prowess at the 2019 Delaware County Senior Games.

The Games run June 10 to 21, kicking off Monday, 8:30 a.m., with Pickleball Doubles in Concordville and a Bocce tournament 9:30 a.m. at Rose Tree Park in Media. This year’s theme, “Compete, Connect, Conquer” focuses on county residents 50 years and older in games of golf, bowling, table tennis, horseshoes, pickleball, and track & field.

The Community YMCA of Eastern Delaware County is partnering with the Games by hosting the swimming events at Ridley High School. It also offered athletes a free one-month membership at one of two local YMCA’s to help prepare for the games.

The Delaware County Senior Games are sponsored by Delaware County Council, the Department of Parks and Recreation, Destination Delco, and the County of Delaware Services for the Aging (COSA).

Co-chairs for the 2019 Senior Games are Marc Manfre, director of Parks and Recreation; Denise V. Stewart, director of COSA, and Steve Byrne, executive director of Delaware County’s Tourism Bureau Destination Delco.
