Girls Basketball has started strong in the Bay League with 3-1 record!

The season opener against Peninsula was a great win, with a final score of 58-45. Haley Herdman led the team with 24 points and 6 rebounds; Gloria Bianchi 15 points and 10 rebounds and Kelli Toyooka with 9 points and 6 assists. The team was not so fortunate against PV, but dominated against Xavier Prep in a nonleague game, and also won league games against Morningside and Inglewood! In nonleague games the girls played against Narbonne and Legacy High Schools, but came up short by 2 against Narbonne and 1 against Legacy. They fought hard to the very end but unfortunately did not get the win. They are looking forward to competing against rival Redondo Union High School on January 23 at Redondo.

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.
