There is no such thing as being "too old for sports!"

That's the belief of many people and especially of Jason Wall, executive director of the Louisiana Senior Olympic Games.

Wall will be the guest speaker of the Feliciana OLLI Chapter at their Coffee Party on Wednesday May 16, at 10 a.m. at the First Baptist Church Fellowship Hall, in St. Francisville.

As director of the Louisiana Senior Olympics, Wall likes to quote the slogan "activities through the ages - join the fun: there's something for everyone."

Wall is a Baton Rouge native, a graduate of Catholic High School and LSU and a former pitcher for the LSU baseball team. 

The  Louisiana Senior Olympics is a non-profit organization that promotes physical fitness and an improved quality of life for people over 50 through sports and physical training.

LSOG plans, promotes and conducts a statewide program which includes competitions held at the local or district level, an annual state event and participation in biennial National Senior Games.

Events featured in the games include archery, badminton, basketball, billiards, bowling, cycling, dance teams, a fitness challenge, golf, horse shoes, pickleball, power lifts, racquetball, racewalk, 5 and 10K road races, shooting, shuffleboard, swimming, table tennis, tennis, throws, track & field, volleyball, a walk-a-thon, washer pitch and weightlifting.

There really is something for everyone!

All residents 50+ years of age are invited to the Olli Coffee on May 16 at 10 a.m. at the First Baptist Church in St. Francisville located at the intersection of Highways 61 and 10.
