Senior Emma Fong Commits to Holy Cross

Costa Softball’s Emma Fong (class of 2021) commits to play softball at Holy Cross University. The Senior Catcher & Utility player has been an impact player for the Mustangs ever since her freshman season. Before Covid cut short the Costa season last Spring, Fong was leading the team in batting average and hits on the season.

Varsity Head Coach Michael Smith says, “ I’m expecting Emma to pick up right where she left off last March. Based on the fact that Covid hasn’t effected her work ethic & determination to raise her level of play each season she’s been at Costa.”

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.
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.
