The Nu Era Flag Football League, based out of Raleigh, N.C., has sights set on North Myrtle Beach as the destination for its national flag football championship called “Money Talks” Beach Classic Tournament.”
The tournament, scheduled for Sept. 26-27, will bring about 75 teams, averaging about 1,200 visitors, and the action will take place at the North Myrtle Beach Park and Sports Complex, which was chosen for its “pristine fields and amenities,” according to a press release about the event.
“The league is already earning a reputation as one of the top on the East Coast and we’re pleased to call North Myrtle Beach home for our annual tournament,” said Charles Futrell, vice president and co-commissioner of Nu Era Flag Football League, in the release. “We chose North Myrtle Beach because of all that the new sports complex offers as far as venue and amenities to our tournament, our players and their families, as well as the fact that North Myrtle Beach is an ideal vacation destination. It’s a great area with good weather, a fantastic location and there’s plenty for folks to enjoy when they aren’t participating in tournament games.”
The North Myrtle Beach Park and Sports Complex has become a top-picked destination in the Southeast for sports tourism, because it offers a space equipped for a variety of sports including: baseball, basketball, cheerleading, football, golf, gymnastics, soccer, softball, officials said.
“We are pleased to welcome the members of the Nu Era Flag Football League to the North Myrtle Beach area,” George DuRant, Vice President of Tourism Development for the North Myrtle Beach Chamber of Commerce, CVB, said in the release. “The City of North Myrtle Beach is not only an excellent venue for sporting events such as the championship tournament, but also offers plenty of activities for players to enjoy when they aren’t on the fields.
