Senior Games news

At the Orange County Senior Games Celebration dinner and we were able to talk to someone from the State games. The Senior Games Board did not take the turnout of last year’s State games into consideration when deciding whether to host archery at the state level this year. Instead they relied solely on the local games sign ups. (Those signups may have been down, due to the fact that it was unlikely a state tournament would be held!) However we have a second chance to encourage the Board to restore archery to the state games. They have their next Board meeting in June. So let’s encourage them to rethink this position. Contact them via their web form or email them directly at ncsg@ncseniorgames.org

Also make suggestions about what would encourage more archers to attend the state games. Possibilities:
-Hold tournaments on Saturdays. Many seniors still have full time commitments, which make it difficult to attend both county and state competitions during week day hours.
-Don’t require a local county tournament to compete at the state level. Again weekday tournaments are hard to make. Also, some counties don’t have a site or the equipment or the expertise to run a tournament.
-Return the state games to Raleigh. Raleigh has more lodging and restaurant options than Madison, for folks who have to travel. The Raleigh area also has a number of clubs which can support the games with expertise and equipment.

Let them know that Archery should be in the State games. In the mean time, happy arrows and know that Orange County Senior Games has already put in their order for next year’s archery shoot. Looking forward to seeing many of you there.

Local counties are opening registration for this year’s games. Go to the Local Games site to find out which events your county hosts. You can then register online.
If your county does not support archery, Orange County does. Our event will be April 1st at the Cates Creek Park in Hillsborough, NC. Currently we have a 2:00pm line. However, if the registration peaks, they may split and do two sessions: a morning and afternoon. More details if/when that happens.
If you are not an Orange county resident, you can register as a Non-Resident. Before you sign up for archery, login to the site. Then go to Edit Profile in the sidebar menu.
