Our new world-class athletic complex is among the best in the nation and reflects our strong commitment to high school athletics. The $40,000,000 complex is situated on 29 acres adjacent to our main campus and includes: a 2,000 seat gymnasium; an Olympic-class aquatics center; a fully-equipped state-of-the-art training center; Varsity and JV softball fields, Varsity and JV baseball fields, five soccer fields, and football and lacrosse fields (all utilizing artificial turf for maximum safety and playability); six tennis courts (including one stadium court); a synthetic running track; boys and girls trainer facilities; and two sand volleyball courts. Fieldhouse Gymnasium (Basketball, Volleyball) JSerra’s spectacular Fieldhouse seats over 2,000 and includes a veranda that offers viewing around the upstairs perimeter of the gymnasium. The gymnasium has tremendous viewing for competition from every angle and seat in the house. The floor is NBA size, measuring in at 95’ x 50’. The design of the Fieldhouse permits three teams to simultaneously practice uninterrupted, with curtains separating each court from floor to ceiling. The state-of-the-art audio system allows integral sound quality, surround sound, individualized speaker usage, and outstanding acoustics.. Aquatics Center (Water Polo, Swimming) This world-class Olympic size pool is the only one of its kind in the United States. The aluminum inner shell, with stainless steel sides, was manufactured in Italy. This indestructible pool holds 768,000 gallons of water, opposed to the average Olympic size pool holding 100,000 gallons. The pool is among the fastest in the nation; its 126 outlets virtually eliminate turbulence across the pool surface. Spectators may view any aquatic event from the adjacent stands, which seat up to 400 fans. Fields (Football, Soccer, Lacrosse) JSerra’s football, soccer and lacrosse fields utilize the highest quality artificial turf—A-turf. A-turf is a grass-like man-made surface manufactured from synthetic materials. JSerra’s fields utilize nearly 500,000 square feet of A-turf – the largest installation of artificial turf anywhere in the country. The turf enhances athletes’ sports performance, provides the best traction, decreases risk of injury, and allows efficient drainage for all weather conditions. Track and Field Facilities (Track & Field, Cross Country) JSerra’s track and field facilities include an eight-lane Tartan track—an all-weather synthetic track surfaced with polyurethane. This unique surface allows athletes to compete in any weather conditions without serious performance loss and improves their results over other surfaces. The facilities also include dedicated high jump, pole vault, long jump – triple jump, javelin, discus, and shot put areas. Baseball Fields (Baseball – Varsity & Junior Varsity) JSerra’s Varsity baseball field is among the finest in the nation. The field is the only baseball field comprised of a professionally-maintained natural grass infield and an outfield utilizing artificial turf (A-turf). The field is equipped with lights for evening and night games. The Junior Varsity baseball field utilizes A-turf throughout both the infield and outfield. Softball Fields (Softball – Varsity & Junior Varsity) JSerra’s softball fields are comprised of dirt infields and outfields utilizing A-turf. The laser level infield conditions rival any high school or college competitors in Orange County. Tennis Center (Tennis) JSerra’s tennis center currently has five courts, with one stadium court under construction. These courts feature the newest and best materials. All courts have full lighting for night-time competition. The parallel layout of the tennis courts allows for optimal spectator viewing. The stadium court will have full lighting and stadium seating surrounding the entire court. Sand Volleyball Courts (Volleyball) JSerra’s athletic facility includes two sand outdoor volleyball courts. The sand is the finest, allowing the grains to slip off athletes’ bodies and not cause any abrasions. The sand courts stand side by side for the best beach competition and outdoor viewing. Training Center JSerra’s sophisticated training center encompasses a free weight room, a Sports Lab conditioning room, and an athletic training room. The free weight room consists of state-of-the-art equipment, starting with top-of-the-line free weights and machines. The weight room also houses the latest cardiovascular equipment available. The Sports Lab conditioning room is ideal for pylometrics quick muscle response training. This conditioning focuses on training the neuromuscular system, improving athleticism, increasing tendon strength, and decreasing injury. JSerra’s athletic training room is designed for individual in need of special attention to areas of the body that are fatigued, injured, or simply in need of preventative measures. Arroyo Trabuco Golf Course (Golf) JSerra’s golf team utilizes Arroyo Trabuco Golf Club, located in nearby Mission Viejo. The Arroyo Trabuco Golf Club features an 18-hole championship-length golf course designed by PGA Tour professional Tom Lehman and well-respected local golf course architect Casey O’Callaghan.
