The Cobb Police Athletic League is a nonprofit organization that uses athletics and recreation to prevent juveniles from embarking on a path of crime.
According to its website, the Cobb league was created in 2011 and allows youth who are unable to join organized sports teams due to costs participate in the group’s athletic programs.
Officers serve as mentors and coaches in the league, which offers sports such as baseball, football and soccer camps, midnight basketball, stepping, martial arts and track.
Anyone who is interested in participating can contact Alicia Hicks at 770-499-3921 or visiting the Cobb Police Athletic League website.
