Welcome to Golden Oldies.

 
The Biennial Golden Oldies Pilgrimage.

Friendships made in sport are both endearing and enduring. The Golden Oldies Movement for Rugby, Cricket, Field Hockey, Netball and Football (Soccer) provides the perfect opportunity to retain and grow those bonds.
 
The Golden Oldies sporting movement ensures you can continue playing your favourite sport after reaching 35 years of age (40 for Cricket) in a way that gives absolute enjoyment on and off the field or court and without the stress. You can remain active and participate without suffering the pains of serious competition but at the same time play to the best of your ability and enjoy it.
 
Supporters are always welcomed into this special fraternity and as members of teams. They also participate in the social functions included in the packages and are encouraged to join in the opening ceremonies and parade with the players.  
 
The biennial World Festivals for each sport offer the opportunity to visit remarkable destinations in a way no ordinary tourist can enjoy and to catch up with friends and fellow sports lovers from around the globe.
Coming World Festivals are:
  • Cricket - Mar 08, Queenstown, New Zealand
  • Rugby - Sept 08, Edinburgh, Scotland
  • Field Hockey - Sept 09, Adelaide, South Australia
  • Netball - Nov 09, Queenstown, New Zealand
  • Cricket - Aug 2010, Harrogate, North Yorkshire, England
To learn more about these events and the Golden Oldies sporting movement contact the Golden Oldies World Secretariat for your nearest Golden Oldies club or team, or check out this website for details on upcoming Golden Oldies Festivals.
 
Fun. Friendship. Fraternity. That's Golden Oldies Sport.
