There are four annual Juniors sessions: Winter, Spring, Summer & Fall. Each session most commonly consists of 6-10 weeks (length is based on season and location), with one scheduled practice per week. The cost to participate is most commonly $118-$198 per player per session (variability based on length of session and location). The schedule might also include Special Sessions (ex: a short Holiday Special in December) as the schedule dictates or group their seasonal sessions more specifically by month (ex: Sept/Oct instead of 'Fall').

LAVA West is the premier girls volleyball club of the Conejo Valley and Ventura County. Athletes from ages eight to eighteen play for LAVA West across a number of program offerings, from our Youth Lite to our Juniors to our youth club teams to our high-level travel teams. The club has been the dominant force on the club scene in Conejo and Ventura, winning multiple gold, silver, and bronze medals on the national stage along with a plethora of regional successes.

Many athletes who play on our high school age teams from freshmen to seniors got their start playing in our Juniors Program. We hope you will join us, too, and get your start on your path towards LAVA West success!

The Juniors Program is for middle school athletes (sixth, seventh, and eighth graders). For 7th-8th graders, the Juniors Program runs year-round with seasonal and/or special sessions.

*For 6th Graders ... For sixth graders, there are some additional considerations. It is recommended that "rising" 6th graders participate in the Sixth Grade Series, a training program designed specifically for sixth graders from June thru September.It is recommended that sixth graders join the normal Juniors Program from October-May.

"Rising" =  the grade the athlete will enroll in for the next, upcoming, or newly begun school year.

The Juniors Program offers something for everyone, from those who have never played before to those who have attended multiple of our clinics, workshops, Lite, or Juniors sessions. No experience required; beginner and intermediate players welcome!
