It is the policy of the Portage Lake Little League that all children will play in their appropriate age division.

You may request a division change, but we can and will not guarantee that until after evaluations are completed and will depend on registration number and the child's abilities. No one person will make this decision, it is based on a group discussion of board members and/or those who have volunteered to be coaches. 

There are times that we may ask a guardian to move a child up a division dependent on registration numbers and the child's ability again no one person will make this decision, it is based on a group discussion of board members and/or those who have volunteered to be coaches.
