Tryout Info

Softball is a Spring Sport.
Softball is a cut sport with Varsity and JV teams.
Softball does not have a formal summer program.
Experience is not required, but most new players have participated in youth leagues.
It is a Spring sport and tryouts are held at the start of the school year.

Softball evaluations will be held at the Mira Costa Varsity Field (corner of Meadows and Artesia Blvd) on Thursday August 21st and Friday August 22, 2025 from 2:45 to 4:45 at each day.

ALL interested players, whether freshman, sophomore or upper classmen, should come. Wear/bring: water bottle, softball clothes & gear including cleats, running shoes, and sunscreen. It is recommended to wear softball pants and socks since this will be the practice uniform.
Incoming freshman should register for 6th Period ‘Excused’ and then 7th Period as Softball if possible, but it’s not imperative. Softball is in lieu of a regular Physical Education period. Once the players have been selected at the start of the year, individual class schedules will be adjusted as needed with their counselors.
Athletes work out with the Softball coaches in the fall and winter using a block Physical Education schedule on Tuesdays and Thursdays if they are not enrolled in other sports.
Starting in January, Varsity typically practices or plays games 5 days a week while the JV typically practices or plays games 3 days a week.
The softball season will begin early February and playoffs will run from June 1-26th.
