Your throwing arm is your lifeline in baseball. In order to prepare for the season, it's essential to build a foundation for throwing with a steady progression and proper mechanics. Bobcats pitching coordinator Tim Viehoff will guide teams ages 10-14 with throwing sessions every week leading into the season. This is all part of the Bobcats package and our commitment to preventative care and longterm player development.  Weekly sessions include:

• Dynamic stretch and warmup with resistance bands
• Grip, arm action and playing catch with a purpose
• Balance drills and directional movement toward target
• Throwing progression leading into long toss and bullpens

We are an elite travel program with a mission to teach comprehensive skills and strategy in a challenging and healthy atmosphere. We instill the values of hard work, teamwork and sportsmanship and players learn to apply those skills to life. Founded in 2012, the New Hampshire Bobcats have already developed more than 25 players who have gone on to play college baseball. This is done with professional coaches who are committed to development with an emphasis on the longterm. If you love baseball and want to be surrounded by those who share your passion, play for the Bobcats and separate yourself from the pack!

12u Division -- The defending champion Bobcats crushed the Prospects, 11-1 and 12-1, clinching first place in the division. Bobcats pitchers Chase Philibotte, Caden Siraco, Cole Eaton and Kaelen Williams combined to allow only two hits on the day. The Bobcats (13-1) won the championship, 5-4, over the Seacoast Cubs. The team has been powered by homers from Mikey Bebris, Liam Ireland and RBI-machine Daniel St. Germaine.

Middle School Division -- Bobcats Jones (6-4) has enjoyed solid pitching by Grayson Davis, Steele Lambert and Alex Shareiko, while Bobcats Curran (3-7) has relied on outstanding pitching by Kaeden Elmer, Brady LaBier and Luke Smithson. 

High School Division -- Gunner Hagstrom threw a perfect game, retiring all 15 batters in a doubleheader sweep over the Dirt Dogs. Zach Mooers blasted a grand slam onto the rocks beyond the left field wall in Pittsfield. The  Bobcats (7-3) also recorded back-to-back no-hitters as Hagstrom, Connor Haas and Peter Haas blanked Pembroke in a sweep. 

Goffstown Little League is making New Hampshire proud every step of the way this summer -- and now the fabulous Goffstown Junior Baseball program is one victory away from representing New England at the Little League World Series in Williamsport, Pa. Five Bobcats have been tearing it up for perennial power G-Town: 
Adam Lafond -- Power lefty pitched the opener in Bristol, Conn., going five scoreless inning to defeat Massachusetts, 3-0. "Big Sauce" is also heading to Dreams Park in Cooperstown, NY., to join the 12u Bobcats following the magical Little League All-Star season. Scored the first run in Thursday's regional semis and made a bases-loaded leaping catch in center field as Rhode Island threatened to rally.
Maddox Turck -- Standout performer all over the diamond since taking leadership of the Bobcats 10u team in 2017. "Smiley," who has seven career homers with the Bobcats, hit a walk-off homer to beat Bedford in the states. Great player, teammate and glue guy.
Dillon Gaudet -- Rock-solid catcher, athletic and tough as nails. Dillon singled home the first run in a nail-biting 2-1 win against Rhode Island and helped preserve the win with tremendous work behind the plate. Dillon had a three-homer game against Derry as the G-Men caught fire in All-Star action against Derry.
Nate Kiah -- America has learned that Nate is a clutch performer at second base and a lights-out reliever -- and his favorite band is AC/DC. Following an amazing start by righty Ryan Dutton, Nate mowed down R.I. with an array of fastballs on the corners and off-speed wizardry. 
Chase Philibotte -- Playing with nerves of steel and hands of gold, Chase made several outstanding plays at shortstop and turned a double play in the sixth inning to deflate hard-charging Rhode Island. A diving play in their first Regional game kept Massachusetts off the scoreboard and helped propel G-Town to victory. New England Regional championship on Saturday! 

Success breeds success -- and that was certainly the case looking back on the 2019 season. The Bobcats celebrated six different championships from ages 9u-12u while compiling an overall record of 90-41-3. A look back at some of the many accomplishments:
12u -- The Division I team (also known as our Cooperstown team) played 30 games, beginning with a highly competitive tourney at New England Baseball Complex. One of our proudest moments came during the Mill City Spring Fling tournament when 12u Yerrington and 12u Jones each won their pool and met for an all-Bobcats championship! The Memorial Day Classic was another epic weekend in which the Bobcats D1 team won six consecutive games, culminating with a 10-2 championship victory over the Spinners Prospects.
11u -- Coming a Division II championship in 2018, this team moved up to Div. 1A and continued to enjoy success, posting a 19-7 record and winning the Memorial Day Classic. Highlights included a 12-game winning streak and championship game appearance in the Mill City tourney.
10u -- Just an incredible season for this group: three consecutive tourney championships, 26-5 overall record, a trip to the Gold Bracket EBL championship tourney. So much hard and focus that kept paying off.
9u -- Most Improved Team of 2019. Following a slow start, this team went on a hot streak and ended up hosting and winning the New England EBL Silver Bracket championship in Manchester. The overall record of 15-7-1 included a trip to Cape Cod and a playoff appearance in the Memorial Day Classic.

The first tryout for next season is June 30 at Ultimate Sports Academy. Click here to register for tryouts.

Following a weekend of amazing weather and intense competition, the New Hampshire Bobcats emerged with three championships during the 7th annual Memorial Day Classic. In the 12u division, the Bobcats Division I team won all six games, eventually defeating the Spinners Prospects in the championship, 10-2. The 12u Division featured 14 teams from five states, including New York!

In the 11u Division, the Bobcats finished third in pool play before defeating the Gators in the semifinals, 9-8, and then defeating the Spinners in the championship, 5-4. Both games were back-and-forth and filled with thrilling plays and clutch hits.

In the 10u Division, the red-hot Bobcats won their third consecutive tournament of the season! This team has now captured the Mill City Spring Tourney, the Seacoast United Spring Fling and the Memorial Day Classic. The team owns a 21-4 record heading into the New England EBL playoffs. 

COOPERSTOWN TRIP: The 12u squad enjoyed an epic trip to Dreams Park in Cooperstown, N.Y., winning five games and bringing home some incredible memories. Among the highlights:

• Nine players homered! Sam Meisner (four homers), Alex Shareiko (two) and others had one: Alex Comire, Conner MacNamara, Adam Lafond, Nolan Duval, Liam Cripps, Matthew Kellar and Brady Rickenbach.
• The Bobcats defeated teams from Massachusetts, New York, Michigan, Virginia and Pennsylvania. A back-and-forth slugfest against Team New Era of Buffalo resulted in a 16-15 Bobcats victory on Ian McDonough's walk-off double.
• We look forward to returning to Dreams Park in 2020!

The New Hampshire All-State Baseball Team is once again loaded with members of the Bobcats family. These players all made a significant impact on the program and helped build what we are today. Thank you and congrats!
