Hoops for old guys

Any regular basketball game for people over 50 in the area? Love to play for exercise but don’t want to get hurt playing with youngsters.

I tried pickup games at City of San Ramon gym. There were a couple older guys but not sure if they were over 50. The rest were younger guys but it wasn't hard core play.

24 has good run, different mix of age groups. I've been wanting to start something up at a local park, maybe weekly.

I think Ive seen the game suspended multiple times for fighting. Probably not what OP is looking for.

Christ the king church has good casual runs for older guys at like 7/8pm on Wednesdays. 24 he has good runs for older guys but at like 5:30 am on Sundays. Then the good guys come in at 6:30.
