North Smithfield Little League is affiliated with Little League's Baseball program. Little League rules describe a "League Age" for players in Little League programs. The player's League Age is based on month and year of their birth. NSLL provides divisions generally setup for the following age groups. Unique circumstances will be reviewed by the Player Agent for players with ages outside the typical divisions.
- A Division - Tee Ball
The Tee Ball division welcomes boys and girls League Ages 4-6. It is mostly for our first-year and youngest players. It is a short practice and a scrimmage game on Saturday mornings.
- AA Division - Coach Pitch
Boys of League Ages 6-9 are typically placed in our Coach Pitch division. It is preferrred that these players have at least one year of Tee Ball experience. There are no tryouts for this division, but older players may be invited to player evaluations to determine their ability to play AAA. This division is instructional, with coaches pitching to batters and introducing players pitching. Each team will have one practice during the week and a game on Saturday mornings.
- AAA Division - Player Pitch
The Player Pitch division is for boys ages 8-11. All players must participate in tryouts and are drafted by the head coaches in the division. It is a competitive feeder division for Majors, with playoffs at the end of the season to determine a champion. The schedule varies, but is typically practices at the beginning of the season, and two games per week. Teams in this division will participate in interleague play (games against other towns), both home and away.
- Majors
Boys League Ages 10-12 mostly get placed in the Majors. This is also a competitive division, and all players must tryout and be drafted. Teams in this division will mostly participate in interleague play, both home and away. The schedule varies, but is typically practices early in the season, and two games per week.
