Visalia Senior Games to be Held through Spring

"We will be spreading out the Visalia Senior Games events throughout spring to allow both our partners and our department the freedom to assess what events are happening in the community and eliminate double booking of events and other tournaments or competitions," said Holly Ellis, recreation supervisor for the City of Visalia Parks & Recreation Department.

"With this new model, the weekend that works best for each sport will be when the event will be hosted," she added.

The 2024 Visalia Senior Games schedule includes:

• Archery on Sunday, March 17;

• Disc Golf on Saturday, March 23;

• Track and Field events on Sunday, March 24;

• Swimming on Sunday, April 7;

• Pickleball on the weekend of May 4-5;

• Table Tennis on Saturday, May 18; and

• Cornhole on Saturday, May 25.
