1. There is no age limit to play sports.
2. You only limit yourself.

Sports will help you in every aspect: physically, mentally, socially, neurologically - and the list goes on and on. No one is saying you need to play to get to the Olympics, but athletics is something too many people stop doing only because they think age is a limitation.

Today is the day you think differently!
