Pre-Tryout Clinics (PTC's) are opportunities for athletes interested in playing for Lava West during the upcoming club season to refine their techniques, showcase their skills, meet coaches, and get a sense of what Lava West is all about in advance of Club Tryouts, which open each year in late July for the 15's-18's age divisions (9th-12th graders) and in early October for the 10's-14's age divisions (3rd-8th graders).

Our Lava West Pre-Tryout Clinics are based out of Lava Headquarters ("Lava HQ", 2360 Townsgate Road, Thousand Oaks). Please contact Lava West Director Trevor Julian at trevorjulian@gmail.com or 818-631-7785 for more details.

Every club says they are "the premier club" of their area. It is one thing to say it -- it is another thing entirely to back it up over multiple seasons of on-court performance across multiple age divisions.

LAVA West is the premier club of Ventura County. In fact, over the past few seasons it has proven the most successful club in the history of Ventura County.
