Whether it's your nephew's first little league baseball game or your daughter's biggest high school soccer tournament, we know what it's like to be on the sidelines cheering on your favorite athlete. In our neck of the woods, these special moments happen at the Gulf Shores Sportsplex.
The family-friendly atmosphere is one of the reasons we fell in love with Gulf Shore. We are so proud that Gulf Shores has remained committed to family friendly activities and has made a tremendous investment in the Gulf Shores Sportsplex to welcome team sports and tournaments to our area.This multi-sport facility hosts major track and field, football, baseball, soccer, and softball tournaments and events throughout the year. Some big events include USSSA Baseball World Series tournaments, Fastpitch Softball events, the Alabama State Track & Field Championships.
When new people visit our area for their first tournament, we love to hear about their experience. Often times, they tell us that they were blown away. This is because sporting events at the Gulf Shores Sportsplex are one-of-kind. In part because of the state-of-the-art facilities, but also because there is so much to do off the field in Gulf Shores.
