The Gulf Coast is Heating Up with Warmer Weather and Sports Events

With cold weather and snow storms gripping many parts of the country these days, many of you are probably looking for a warm-up right about now. We still have a little more than a month before the official start of spring, but if you come down to Gulf Shores & Orange Beach, you’re likely to find an early taste of the warmer season.

The weather is looking good these days, with temperatures averaging in the 60s (and sometimes higher!). And if you really want to heat things up while you’re here, check out one of the Gulf Shores & Orange Beach Sports Commission sporting events scheduled for this month—like the 2013Island Cup Soccer event taking place February 22^nd and 23^rd. Twenty-six high school soccer teams will compete for the Island Cup Soccer title at the Gulf Shores and Orange Beach Sportsplexes. It’s sure to be an exciting weekend for soccer and general sports fans!

Other February sports events include the 20^th Annual Gulf Coast Classic Volleyball Tournament (February 23^rd – 24^th) and the Cheertech Orange Beach Nationals—a cheerleading competition taking place February 23^rd at The Wharf.

And let’s offer up a special thanks to The Wharf, not only for hosting the Cheertech event, but also for being a Gulf Shores & Orange Beach Sports Commission gold-level sponsor. Thanks also goes to the Flora-Bama Lounge, another gold sponsor. Thanks for all your support!
