Games for Life 2012

Happy Holidays!

We at CASACA are happy to announce that we have dates for the 2012 Games for Life in Austin and San Antonio. Austin’s Games for Life will be held on March 23, 2012 at the University of Texas Recreational Sports Center.  This will mark our 30th anniversary of the games in Austin.  San Antonio’s Games for Life will be held on April 28, 2012 at the Blossom Athletic Center.  This will mark their second year of the games.

Coming in the fall of 2012 will be the Inaugural Games for Life in Temple, Texas.  We plan to hold this event at the University of Mary Hardin Baylor in Belton, Texas.  The date has not been confirmed as of yet but we will keep you posted.

If you missed our training for the Games for Life and would like to be a part of the steering committee, join us at our training sessions to be announced later on this month.

Take care of yourselves and enjoy the holidays but come January 1, practice and play hard!

Jeff Brown, CASACA President
