The Desert Mountain High School (DMHS) Softball program fields Varsity and JV teams in the 5A Conference and plays in the "East Sky" region.
In 2026, the team went 20-7-1 and got to the first round of the 5A state playoffs. DM went 7-5 in the East Sky region and finished in 4th place in the region. Due to injuries to key players late in the season, our streak of 5A championships ended at 3 titles in a row from 2023-2025.
In 2027, the team will be welcoming a new head coach as Chris Fredericks retired after 10 seasons at the helm of DM softball. We expect to hire the new coach in September 2026 and please return to this page for updates!
Desert Mountain Softball always play a competitive schedule and in previous years, the tournament schedule included:
- the Lion Country Classic, hosted by Red Mountain, starts in late February with 5 games in Mesa against 6A conference programs
- the "I Love this Game" Tournament, hosted by Willow Canyon, the week prior to Spring Break with 4 games in Surprise
This year, the non-tournament games include the following match-ups:
