Dear Parents and Players,

Welcome to the 54th campaign of East Marietta Basketball!! 

With an enrollment of over 1000 boys and girls from the 3rd through the 12th grades, our program is the most successful in Cobb County. Accordingly, the quality of the program is directly related to level of parental participation. In order to keep up our level of success, East Marietta needs your full support.

We also graciously welcome any additional funds through sponsor contributions and rely on your charitable contributions to our Joyce Fox scholarship fund. 

Each Team MUST provide a scoresheet plus a clock operator and scorekeeper for each game.
