Mira Costa Softball, led by head coach Mike Mora, assistant coach Scott Collins and new assistant coach Annika Seedborg, is a competitive organization focused on developing strong players and great leaders. We take pride in promoting a positive, supportive team environment that creates lifelong memories and friendships.
The Mustangs are looking forward to the upcoming season, planning to build on last year’s successes when the Varsity team had its best season on record in 10 years and qualified for CIF with a strong showing against tough competition through the quarterfinals. The coaches are excited about the 2026–2027 team, with several returning top players, a deep and talented bench, a strong JV team, and a solid group of incoming freshmen.
Every player continues to develop their softball skills, grow as a teammate and become part of the Mira Costa softball family. Softball is a spring sport and is a cut sport, with games scheduled from early February through May and CIF playoffs for Varsity into June.
Go Costa — we are family!

Softball is a spring sport and a cut sport with Varsity and JV teams. Experience is required, with most new players having participated in youth leagues. There is no formal summer program. Evaluations are held 8/24, 8/25 and 8/26 at the Mira Costa Varsity Field (corner of Meadows and Artesia Blvd) from 2:50–5:00pm. Formal tryouts will follow later in September TBA.
All interested players — freshman, sophomore or upperclassmen — should come. Wear or bring: a water bottle, softball clothes and gear including cleats, running shoes and sunscreen. Softball pants and socks are recommended since this will be the practice uniform.
Incoming freshmen should register for 6th Period ‘Excused’ and then 7th Period as Softball if possible (softball is in lieu of a regular PE period). Once players are selected, individual schedules are adjusted with counselors. Athletes work out with the coaches in fall and winter on a block PE schedule Tuesdays and Thursdays if not enrolled in other sports.
Starting in January, Varsity typically practices or plays games five days a week and JV three days a week. The season begins in early February, with playoffs running June 1–26.
