National Veterans Golden Age Games

THE NATIONAL VETERANS GOLDEN AGE GAMES ARE COMING TO CLEVELAND IN 2027

Inspired by programs that promote healthy aging, fitness and recreation, VA initiated the National Veterans Golden Age Games in 1985 to underscore the preventive and therapeutic value of sports medicine for older Veterans who receive health care at VA facilities.

Through its “Fitness for Life” focus, the National Veterans Golden Age Games is a premier showcase for the rehabilitation value that sports, fitness, and wellness provide in the lives of Veterans ages 55 and beyond. VA research and clinical experience verify that sports rehabilitation plays a crucial role in helping with weight loss, improving chronic conditions, and providing a fun way to destress. With VA recreation therapists and clinicians as their coaches, Veterans benefit from year-round rehabilitation and fitness programs at their local VA facilities to remain physically engaged and give them an extra boost of confidence.
