1. Do I need to purchase any additional equipment?

Team equipment is provided to each team for our youth sports programs, however, there are a few individual items required for each sport. Tee-ball and baseball require that each child has a glove. Baseball cleats are recommended, but not required. For soccer, each child needs cleats and shin guards. Any other recommended items will be covered by your coach at the first practice.

2. What do I do if I cannot afford equipment for my child?

We have a small supply of donated items including practice uniforms, cleats and shin guards. Anyone needing to secure these items is welcome to come by our office during our office hours and check for the items needed. Your child must currently be enrolled in our sports program to be eligible to use any of these donated items.

3. Can I donate sports items to your department?

Our department is always accepting donations of baseball and soccer equipment. Please call our office at 770-986-5016 to set up a time to drop off your equipment.

4. About how long do games and practices last?

Games and practices last about 45 minutes to one hour.

5. What is the latest start time for games?

Any teams playing another Chamblee Parks & Recreation team will most likely not have any games starting after 2:00 p.m. Teams that are playing teams from other leagues may have games at other times during the day and even other days of the week/weekend.

6. Can my child move up or down an age group?

Children are sometimes allowed to move up an age group if the child is reasonably close to the age requirement. We reserve the right to move the child back down to the appropriate age group if his/her coach feels after practice starts that it would be in the best interest of the child. Children are not allowed to move down an age group for any reason.

7. Does it matter if my child has never played before?

Our leagues are recreation leagues and are non-competitive. There are exceptions in the older age groups such as U12 and U14 Soccer where we will offer competitive teams. All children are welcome as our goal is to develop each child regardless of their skill level.
