CAPO CLASSICS - Long Live Hoop!
WELCOME TO CAPO CLASSICS Basketball
Long Live Hoop!
Capo Classics is a not-for-profit organization that promotes healthy aging through playing basketball. We are a group of senior men (ages 60 and above) that play recreational basketball at the San Juan Capistrano, CA Gym(32681 Alipaz St, San Juan Capistrano California 92675). This program for seniors is made available by the City of San Juan Capistrano for a nominal daily gym use fee. If you are 60 years and older and still love playing basketball you just might be a "Classic"! Our group includes players of all skill levels including those that have not played much basketball previously and those that played in high school, college or even the pros. We also place teams in National Senior Games 3x3 tournaments (also open to women) in California and around the US and occasionally full court basketball internationally. Everyone enjoys the exercise, competitive games, friendship and camaraderie of the group. The Capo Classics Senior Basketball Program gives seniors a renewed interest in their physical and mental health. The seniors typically play Monday, Wednesday and Friday late morning through lunchtime but hours can change depending on gym availability.
