SAS bikers stop for lunch in Montello
Sports for Active Seniors is an organization based in Madison, Wisconsin for people 55 and up who want to participate in active, noncompetitive sports in a social setting.
It is our history, our desire, and hopefully our practice, to make newcomers feel welcome. You will not be a stranger very long.
We have about 150 members and 10 sports. Each sport is organized by the participants, with volunteer leaders.
People over the age of 55 interested in actively participating in sports are invited to join us.
Try us out! Join if you like what you see!
