The Badminton program is an athletic program at Mira Costa that allows students in every grade to compete as well as develop their skills to the next level. Mira Costa High School Badminton has been a highly competitive sports team, having won multiple CIFSS Team Championships as well as achieving other top performances in both CIFSS Team and Individual Championships. Badminton team members have represented the USA in international competitions, both during and after their high school careers.
The MCHS Badminton Team is co-ed and consists of Varsity and Junior Varsity. Off-season Fall class was formed at the beginning of the 2023-2024 school year and regular season practice starts in February. Participation in the fall semester does not ensure that students will make the team.
Badminton try-outs are held in June, with a second tryout in January.
Donations go directly to the program — coaching, equipment and season costs.

Badminton is a Spring Sport. Badminton is a cut sport.
No prior experience is required, however skill level does matter. Students with previous experience tend to do better and make the team. Some students play year-round at Manhattan Beach Badminton Club (MBBC) in the MBBC Junior program.
Workouts start in January for students coming from other sports. Practice begins the first week of February and competitive matches against other schools begin in March, with CIF playoffs culminating by the end of May. Mira Costa has always made the playoffs.
Off-season practice is available through MBBC. If there is an expectation of playing Varsity, additional skills and training are highly recommended in the off season.
