SHE aims, SHE shoots, SHE SCORES!!! Western Health Home Care had the pleasure of sponsoring the Women’s Basketball tournament during the 25th Annual San Diego Senior Olympic Games on Saturday, September 15th and Sunday, September 16th! It was an action packed weekend filled with dribbles, lay-ups, free-throws, and 3-pointers! Think you have to be a “young-buck” to play on these teams?? Well, think again! These women ranged in ages from 40+ all the way to 89….and they DON’T mess around either! Although good sports(wo)manship filled the San Diego Municipal Gym at Balboa Park, these basketball players took their games very seriously!

Western Health had a great time helping the athletes check-in on Saturday and continued our support all day Sunday! It really is inspirational to see women in their 60′s, 70′s and 80′s staying active, fit and healthy, while loving the sport they are playing. Every player we had the privilege of speaking to this weekend is not only truly passionate about Basketball, but they also love proving to “us younger generation” that fitness and staying active doesn’t just stop once you hit 40!
