   2021 Australian Masters Games
   Saturday 9 to Saturday 16 October
   The 2021 Australian Masters Games is a week long festival of sport that brings together
   weekend warriors to enjoy an extensive sporting and social program in an exciting holiday
   destination. The Games will feature 50 sports, and participants don’t have to meet
   qualification standards, just the minimum age requirement, which in most sports is 30 years.
   The Australian Masters Games will also comprise an extensive social program, including
   opening and closing ceremonies and opportunities to explore Perth and Western Australia.
   This year the City of Armadale will play host to the Canoe/Kayak, Rowing and Dragon Boat
   Competitions at the Champion Lakes Regatta Centre.
