The New Year Brings Plenty of Sports to the Gulf!

Welcome to 2014! A new year can mean so many things—a new start, new goals, and down here in Gulf Shores & Orange Beach it means a whole new year of exciting sporting events!

February alone sees a variety of Gulf Coast sports, from basketball and baseball to a golf tournament and even a cheerleading competition. Kicking things off on February 8^th is the HoopPlay Tournament 4 GM Guarantee—a basketball event taking place at Gulf Shores High School and Middle School. Also taking place in February are the Cheertech Orange Beach Nationals (February 15^th), the USSSA President’s Day Challenge Baseball Tournament (February 15^th), the GSHS Golf Battle on the Beach event (February 17^th), and the Island Cup Soccer Tournament (February 21^st – 22^nd).

Want a reason to visit Gulf Shores & Orange Beach next month and participate in an event? The 2014 Sweetheart 5k and Half Marathon is scheduled for February 15^th. You have some choices with this event: the half marathon, Sweetheart Run, one-mile fun run, or the 5k Walk/Run. Follow it up with food, live music, and an awards ceremony at the post-race party at The Hangout.

It’s going to be a great year for sports!
