NC Senior Games

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. Check the “Nonresident” box and save your profile. Then you can register for the Orange County Games. If you want to sign up for any events in your own country, you can go back in and uncheck that box and save your profile again. If you have any questions about the Orange County Games, you can contact Latonya Brown at lbrown@orangecountync.gov or 919 245 4270.
