Athletics - Youth

Youth athletics in Cobb are conducted by volunteer organizations that use Cobb facilities for practices and games. The coordinators and manager of the department's Athletics Unit oversees these organizations. If you wish to become involved in an activity, please call or e-mail the association of your choice or contact a staff member of the Athletics Unit.

Athletics Unit
The Park's Athletic Unit works directly with volunteer organizations that provide quality youth and adult recreation programs in department facilities. These organizations offer a variety of activities from traditional athletics to specialized programs such as BMX racing and radio controlled airplanes. Each organization operates independently with a board of directors, program budget, and all are non-profit. The staff of the Athletics Unit serves as a liaison with these programs through the allocation of seasonal park-use agreements.

Volunteer organizations that provide programs in Cobb County Parks agree to abide by the rules set forth by the department and Cobb County.  These policies and procedures are set forth in the 'Park User Handbook', available for download here.

Below is general information regarding registrations and seasons.  Dates vary by youth organization.  Please go the the youth sport web page and find the youth association's information for specific league.
