State of the Sport

In each issue of Masters Athlete in 2008, we'll be examining the state of a specific sport for Masters athletes. The sports will range from cycling to golf to skiing. We'll offer interviews with prominent figures in the sport, a list of important upcoming events and key associations. And we'll give beginners tips on how to get started in the sport. Here's a list of the sports that will get the "state of the sport" treatment this year:

January/February: Pickleball

March/April: Triathlon

May: Running

June: Cycling

July/August: Tennis

September: Softball and Baseball

October/November: Golf

December: Skiing

But it doesn't have to be that way. With organizations such as the Men's Senior Baseball League and Roy Hobbs Diamond Enterprises, adult age-group baseball is available across the United States. And if hardball isn't your thing, senior softball is virtually ubiquitous with local leagues and groups such as Senior Softball USA and the International Senior Softball Association holding age-group softball tournaments around the country. While overall sports participation in baseball and softball are in decline, participation is up for adults playing the games. As major league post season approaches, you may be watching more ballgames on TV and wondering if you still can swing the bat or turn a double play. In this state of the sport feature, you'll find a list of associations and tournaments for both senior softball and adult baseball to help you return to the games. . . . keep reading...>>
