Girls Basketball is prepared for Bay League after playing in Holiday Tournament!

All three Costa teams have been playing lots of basketball! Prior to Winter Break, the JV and Frosh/Soph teams participated in the Narbonne Tournament. The Frosh/Soph team played hard and continued to improve each game. The JV Team came in 4^th place, played aggressively each game and are also continued to improve.

The Varsity Team played in the Segerstrom Tournament and were up against some great competition. Although they did not place as well as we liked, the girls played hard and have been getting better each game. Haley Herdman had the honor of being selected to the All Tournament Team for this tournament. Congratulations Haley!

During Winter Break, the Varsity team played in the San Diego Holiday Classic. They finished the tournament in 6^th place, and had a great time bonding and having some fun in San Diego.

Tryout Info

Girls Basketball is a Winter Sport.
Girls Basketball is a cut sport, although it typically has fairly big rosters. There are 3 teams: Varsity, JV and Frosh/Soph with a total of 35-45 players
Girls Basketball Tryouts will be Tuesday August 30, 2022 & Wednesday August 31, 2022, from 5-7 p.m. in the Costa Gym

Tryouts are in late August generally during the first full week of school. There is usually an informal tryout for players who are in fall sports and cannot make the first tryouts. Tryouts generally last 2-3 days, and are supervised by the coaching staff. Decisions are made the weekend following tryouts, and all players are notified thereafter.
Prior experience is not required, but is helpful, as Mira Costa basketball is fairly competitive. Playing travel/club basketball is the best way to get ready. In addition, being in good physical condition is important, as our style of play is based on significant running.
Practices begin immediately following tryouts and generally involve two days of conditioning, and two to three days in the gym.

Practices will go to 4-6 days per week in late October.

For players in a fall sport, they will join basketball when their sport is finished.

Games start in mid-November, and Bay League games begin in December. The season runs until the end of January although the Varsity can run 2-3 weeks further depending on CIF playoffs.
There are workouts in the spring, generally 3-4 days per week, until school lets out for the summer. There is a summer school program, with practices in the late afternoon. PE credit is offered. This program is not mandatory, but is highly recommended for those players who want to play at the varsity level. Players can miss practices for vacations, although more than three absences would generally mean no PE credit for the course.
