Tryouts & Games
JHS hosts tryouts in August, marking the start of the fall season.  The purpose of tryouts is to select athletes for both Varsity and Junior Varsity teams through a process that includes skill drills—such as hitting, fielding, and pitching—along with conditioning tests and coach evaluations. JHS competes in the Class 5 District 7 within the Central Ozark Conference (division west). Home games are played at the Joplin High School Softball Complex, located on the south side of the high school at 2104 S. Indiana Ave, Joplin, MO.

Summer Camps and Activites

Summer activities are offered for incoming 9^th -12^th grades which includes practices, weights, tournaments, and scrimmages.  JHS players also assist with elementary and middle school camps. These bridges between older and younger players help develop future talent and strengthen community ties.

Paige Neal/Christina Freeman Invitational 

The Lady Eagles host the Paige Neal/Christina Freeman Softball Tournament in late August. The twelve-team tournament draws local teams as well as teams from the Kansas City and Columbia areas. The tournament is played on the softball fields at the Joplin Athletic Complex.
