Local seniors will have an additional six new sports to compete in when the 20th edition of the National Senior Games starts in another two months.
Coordinator of the games, Jasper Blades said motorsports, badminton, cricket, football, volleyball (both beach and court) and bodybuilding will feature in the May 5-20 event, bringing the total number of disciplines to 19.
Pointing out there was potential for other sports to be added, he said the ministry had also engaged the services of a technical advisor to aid in the preparation and development of these sports.
He was speaking on Friday at the launch of the games at the Vauxhall Senior Citizens Village where Minister of People Empowerment and Elder Affairs Kirk Humphrey urged Barbadians to support the games either as participants or spectators.
