2021 will be an exciting year for Mesquite Senior Games – our 20th Anniversary of providing fun sporting events to promote active and healthy lifestyles for seniors in our community and across the country.
All of you are aware of the extraordinary challenges presented by the Covid-19 pandemic in 2020. Our detailed playbook and schedule of activities for 2020 went out the window in March 2020 as we all adapted to a new and challenging reality.
As optimism is beginning to grow for an end to the devastating impact of the pandemic across the country, we want to share with you the plans our Board of Directors are developing for 2021, our 20th anniversary.
Our regular spring season of nearly 20 sporting competitions seems out of the question and we decided that the most likely time Covid will allow us a return to a full season will be Fall 2021.
However, we have begun to plan a series of smaller, single-sport activities in the interim, possibly as early as April, as progress against the pandemic and state/local health guidelines permit. These will be primarily targeted at outdoor activities which maximize the opportunity for social distancing while providing healthful sport and social events. Some of the options will include:
Two-day golf celebration (Long Drive/Closest-to-the-Pin/Putting/9H tournament)
Horseshoes New!
Cornhole New!
Pickleball
Fitness hikes
Bowling
Target Pistol and Shotgun Sport
This fall we are planning a huge relaunch and celebration of the 20th anniversary of Mesquite Senior Games complete with all the events you normally would see in the spring. Better than that, moving forward, we are planning 2 full sporting seasons each year! The seasons will include activities of all types, so you’ll have the chance to show us what you’ve got in the spring and fall both! We will be sending out periodic updates as these plans are finalized, so please be on the lookout for these communications from us.

We are excited to be sharing our 20th Anniversary Celebration with you throughout the year, and wish all of you a happy, healthy, and safe new year in 2021.
