Portsmouth Little League is structured with three age-based divisions as well as a Challenger division. The age-based divisions are 11/12/13 year-olds, 9/10 year-olds, and 6/7/8 year-olds. For players born in 2005 or earlier, Little League age is the numerical age of the player on April 30 of each year; for players born in 2006 or later Little League age is the numerical age of the player on August 31 of each year. Each program has an assigned home field, game schedule and practice schedule. All children who reside in the City of Portsmouth, the Town of Greenland, the Town of Newington, or the Town of Stratham are eligible to play in our program.
We place all registered players on teams and once the season begins we add new players on a space available basis up until we begin the round robin level of play. Registration is online. We advertise registration dates on our website, in the local newspaper, and when possible through school email distribution lists. Tryouts are held in early April, practices run from early April to Opening Day.
Teams practice anywhere from 3 to 6 times per week based on the division of play.
