Mark your calendars: Weekly sports schedule for May 5-9

May 5, 2026 - 12:15

The upcoming week brings a full slate of action for local sports fans across the Central Coast. From Monday, May 5 through Friday, May 9, teams across baseball, softball, soccer, and track and field will be competing in league matchups and invitational meets.

Baseball highlights include a Tuesday evening rivalry game between Coast Union and Templeton, both fighting for position in the standings. On Thursday, the Mission Prep Royals host Santa Maria in a non-league contest that promises strong pitching. Softball fans should circle Wednesday, when Arroyo Grande takes on Righetti in what could decide the top seed for the upcoming playoffs.

In soccer, the boys and girls divisions are wrapping up regular season play. The Paso Robles boys face Atascadero on Thursday night under the lights, while the girls squads for Nipomo and Morro Bay meet Friday afternoon. Track and field athletes will compete in the county championships on Saturday, May 10, though several qualifying heats take place earlier in the week.

For full game times, venue locations, and any last-minute changes, coverage is available in the daily print edition and online. Check local listings to confirm start times, as some games may shift due to weather or field conditions.
