Girls Basketball sends a big Thank You to all their coaches!

The Lady Mustangs have been so successful this past season because of our wonderful coaches. Their dedication, time, hard work and commitment is what made our team so successful at all levels. Our Frosh Team ended with an 11-10 record with 4 of those games against JV teams and was led by Coach Dan O’Farrell and assisting him was Coach Austin Garrison. Our JV team ended with a 15-9 record finishing strong and they were led by Coach Eric Pagel and assistant coach Austin Garrison. Finally, our Varsity Team had a GREAT season. We made it to the Semi Finals of the CIF Southern Section Playoffs and to the 2nd round of the State Playoffs. Our Varsity Team could not have gotten this far without the great leadership of John Lapham and his assistant coach Jeff Herdman. Thank you to all our coaches!

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
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.
