The City of Tallahassee Parks, Recreation, and Neighborhood Affairs hosted the 5th anual Senior Games on March 8 to encourage adults 50 and older to stay active and healthy by participating in one of 19 sporting events, including tennis.
Even though the tennis competition had to be cancelled in recent years due to low participation, there were 50 participants this year, primarily due to players being drawn from the Silver Belles and Golden Boys recreational tennis leagues.
