General Information
Evaluations: We will hold 1-2 evaluations in March, players are encouraged to attend both and need to attend at least one if they want to be considered for a major’s team (and are under Little League Age 12). The purpose of evaluations is to create equal, balanced teams to ensure competitive, fun games during the season.
What division should I select? The players age, experience, ability, and team availability are all considered. The decision is a joint decision by the parent/guardian and the league. The league has the final say due to player numbers and player safety. Please use the division descriptions below and reach out to us with any additional questions.

Determining ages for baseball: Please use the Little League Age Calculator to determine the player’s age but note that skill plays a large part in placement due to player safety.
Seasons & Timing: We are always looking for ways to get players on the field. Players can pick and choose what seasons they would like to play, with the spring season being the most competitive season and the way to qualify for All-stars. Here's a sample of what we plan to offer every year.
Spring Season: April to June - This is the most competitive season and a must for those wanting a chance to be on an All-Star team. Minors and Majors consist of a town-based league (typically 4 teams/league). Season ends with a playoff week and Majors/Minors League champions are crowned.
All-Stars: Players are selected to play on an All-Star team at different age levels to represent our Little League in the District 6 tournament, with a chance to advance to state, regional and the Little League World Series. Teams are chosen via a selection process.
Summer Season: July/August – Our summer baseball season has become very popular over the past couple seasons. Last season we fielded 4 teams representing our Little League. We play teams from other local Little Leagues such as Cumberland, Yarmouth, Gray. Typically, the season consists of one weekday and one weekend game. With other conflicts in summer, we typically carry a slightly larger roster per team. This is open to all players.
Fall Season: September/October – Fall season is a continuation of summer. Teams play against other local Little Leagues. Last season we fielded three fall teams. This is open to all players.
All-Stars
We will field a (8,9,10), (10,11) and (11,12) all-star team. Players will be eligible for selection to a All-Star team that competes in June/July for a chance to go to the Little League World Series. More information can be found on the softball All-Stars Process and Selection page.
