Notes
STRUCTURAL KEY FOR NH - A DIFFERENT SOLUTION TO THE SAME PROBLEM. Nebraska and eastern Oregon solve small cohorts by SHRINKING THE GAME to 8-man or 6-man. New Hampshire solves it by COMBINING SCHOOLS into sanctioned co-op teams that play the standard 11-man game. Same underlying constraint, opposite adaptation. Practically it means the relevant unit in rural NH is a cluster of towns, not a town - and youth feeders likely mirror that clustering. Verify how far down the age bands co-ops extend.
Seasons, fees and registration windows change. Confirm with the league before you pay. Our record: Medium. What our tiers mean
