Welcome to Kennesaw Baseball Association located in historic downtown Kennesaw, Georgia. Come check out the new and improved Adams Park as we now have a new walking trail for all you fitness buffs that can be used for walking and jogging. A perfect opportunity to get or stay in shape while at the park. The park has also become a NON-SMOKING & NO PETS facility. This rule was enacted by the City Council and Mayor. Please adhere to this rule as it will be enforced by the park monitors.

Anyone who steps foot on the field must have a criminal background check. This means that if you plan to be an assistant coach, dugout parent or helping out in any way on the field you are required to complete the background check. The form is available on KBA’s web-site under handouts. Please follow guidelines below:
· These cards are good for one year.

DO NOT take the form to the police station
Once the process is completed by the Kennesaw Police Department you will be issued an identification card. A broadcast email will be sent out with pickup time. This card must be worn any time you are on the field.

Please help keep our park clean by throwing away any trash in the dugouts or surrounding areas around the park. The KBA Board thanks you in advance for helping us keep our park clean and safe for the players and association members.
It has come to attention of the Board of Directors that there have been several occasions of parents dropping off their young players at the park without parental supervision during team practices. Full parental responsibility is mandatory when your child is on the Adams Park grounds during practices and games. There have been several reported cases from other local area parks of young children being approached by individuals not directly related to the stipulated program. Head Coaches and the Coaching staff are there to teach baseball to our young players, and with as many players per team, there responsibilities are spread to several individuals and not just one. We are requiring that at least 1 parent must accompany their child when participating in baseball activities at Adams Park facility. If your child is un-accompanied and your coach is unaware of no parental presence, parents will be notified to pick up their children immediately. Please help enforce park safety to keep our children and your park safe.
