*Offerings vary by school and grade. Acceptance does not guarantee a spot in a specific activity, competition, or program, and some carry fees or their own eligibility rules. Acceptance to Choose Cobb does not guarantee eligibility for athletics. High school athletic eligibility is governed by Georgia High School Association (GHSA) bylaws, which apply separately from school enrollment. Families should contact the school’s athletic department before making decisions based on sports. See (GHSA) eligibility rules.
