Portsmouth High School is committed to providing our student-athletes with a full slate of athletic experiences designed to enhance their educational experiences and improve academic outcomes. As such, Portsmouth High School participates in the Rhode Island Interscholastic Program sponsored by the Rhode Island Association of Secondary School Principals. Please see the table below for a full breakdown of which sports we offer as well as their division of competition.
To be eligible to participate in any interscholastic sport a student must have met all of the requirements set forth in the Rhode Island Interscholastic League's book of Rules and Regulations, Current Edition, published for the Rhode Island Association of Secondary School Principals Committee on Athletics.
Students must also be in compliance with the School Committee policy 5113.1. Physical exams are also required.
In addition, a student must register for athletics. For registration instructions, please follow this link PHS Athletic Registration Portal.
Finally, As a requirement for participation in any PHS sponsored athletic experience, a Participation Agreement must be signed by the student and parent/guardian. This form will then be placed on file with the appropriate coach/advisor.

Alcohol and Drugs Including Tobacco & Nicotine
Alcohol and Drugs Including Tobacco & Nicotine
Medical research substantiates that the use of alcohol and mood modifying substances produces harmful effects on the human body and will affect athletic and academic performance. Students who experiment with such substances jeopardize program morale, reputation and success, and they do physical harm to themselves and risk personal injury and harm to others during their sport/activity.
Students must decide if they want to hold a leadership position or want to be part of an athletic team. If they do wish to be a participant, they must make the commitment in order to do so. A significant part of this decision means refraining from the use of alcohol, drugs, tobacco, nicotine, and steroids. All students who wish to be a participant in a sports team or extra-curricular activity in Portsmouth must abide by the Chemical Health and Student Safety Policy linked here.
