Action Zone
Have you been in the couch potato zone lately? If so, then it’s time to get up and get active. Be ready to challenge your body when you learn a new sport and test your balance, stamina, hand/eye coordination and rhythm in the Action Zone.
State Game Craze & Fitness Fun
Did you know that after high school or college, you can still compete nationally in your beloved sport? All you need to do is qualify during the Oklahoma State Games or the Senior State Games, both held annually across Oklahoma. Senior State Games representatives will be on hand to tell you about all the sports available to you and to see how fit you still are. The Oklahoma Table Tennis Club will test your reflexes and hand/eye coordination with a fun game of table tennis. Don’t worry – they are excellent teachers. Then evaluate your body at four one-minute fitness stations. Will your name be at the top of the leader boards at the end of each day? Where comfy clothes because it’s time to get ACTIVE!

Balancing Act
As we get older, balance is so important and it’s never too late to improve yours. Whether you’re 9 or 90, it is time to test your balance skills. How long can you stand on or turn on one leg? Can you balance on a 4” beam and walk from one end to the other without falling off? Can you keep a balance board level? Just how good is your balancing act?
