Get the Kids Ready for the Coast360 Beach Games in Gulf Shores!

Summer is a perfect time for many things in Gulf Shores & Orange Beach, and sports are no exception. The sporting events are continuous throughout the next couple of months, with sports such as baseball, softball, basketball, and even some football rounding out the event lineup.

Summer is also an ideal time for family vacations, and sports-minded families with young children have an extra incentive for a Gulf getaway this year: the 1st Annual Coast360 Beach Games, sponsored by Coast360, a Gulf Shores & Orange Beach Sports Commission sponsor.

The games are a chance for children ages 7 to 11 to engage in some fun, friendly competition by participating in games like Hula Hoopla, Bucket Ruckus, Low Tide Slide, Seafood Scramble, and Fish in a Barrel. Participants can compete for prizes including beach balls, medals, and coupons to local businesses, and will appear on Coast360 TV, which will air the games each week.

The Beach Games officially began Thursday, June 14th and will take place every Thursday at 11 a.m. through July 26th at Gulf Shores Public Beach. Only the first 10 registrants will be allowed to participate, so those interested should arrive before 10:45 a.m.
