Badminton is a Spring Sport.
Badminton is a cut sport.
No prior experience is required, however, skill level does matter. Students with previous experience tend to do better and make the team. Some of the students play year-round at Manhattan Beach Badminton Club (MBBC) in the MBBC Junior program.
Badminton is a spring sport and workouts start January for students coming from other sports. Practice begins the 1st week of February and competitive matches against other schools begin in March, with CIF playoffs culminating by the end of May. Mira Costa has always made the playoffs.
Off season practice is available through MBBC. If there is an expectation of playing Varsity, additional skills and training are highly recommended in the off season.
