(NAPSI)—Getting older doesnt have to mean getting out of the game.
Consider, for example, the Celadrin Tigerettes Senior Olympics Womens basketball team. Ranging in age from 64 to 74, the team won the Senior Olympic gold medal at the last national games in Houston. In fact, they are seven-time Senior Olympic champions, and are poised to defend their title at the 2013 national games in July.
