list of individuals wishing to get on a team. You can call
the Adult Athletic office at 770 -528-8860 to leave your name,
phone number, sport and position you are interested in, and
level of play. Occasionally, this free agent list of individuals
wishing to play is requested by managers who find that they
have insufficient numbers to make up a team. We do not put
individuals in direct contact with managers. Submitting your
name does not guarantee that a team will contact you.
17. Is there any other way to try to get on a team?
For softball, kickball and football go out to the park where
the adult leagues are scheduled and talk to the teams/players.
Take your equipment in case they need you immediately. For
basketball, go to the gym where games are being played to
see if there is a chance to be added to a team. Basketball
games are played from November-February and from June to July
at Fullers Recreation Center located at 3499 Robinson Rd,
Marietta, Ron Anderson Recreation Center located at 3820 Macedonia
Rd, Powder Springs and Ward Recreation Center located at 4845
