The Summer Program at Lava West consists of all offerings in June, July, and August that are not part of the club volleyball season. Our summer program includes stand-alone clinics, workshops, multi-day camps, and our seasonal youth and juniors programs.

Our Lava West Summer Program is based out of our Lava Headquarters (Lava HQ) facility, located at 2360 Townsgate Road, Thousand Oaks, and our partner facility Momentum at 2400 Willow Lane, Thousand Oaks (formerly known as Athletic Society or "AS"). Please contact our Director Trevor Julian at trevorjulian@gmail.com or 818-631-7785 for more details.

- LAVA WEST HIGHLIGHTS -

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.

2022/2023 ... This current season began with a bang and is continuing to impress with staggering data points: thirty-two girls teams across eight age divisions, a new sponsorship partnership with Molten Volleyball, popular new uniforms, nine teams competing in the Power Division of the SCVA (similar to the PVL), five medals already earned at national competitions as of mid-March (Gold, Gold, Silver, Bronze, Bronze), and two qualification bids to Junior Nationals already secured (18 Molten, 15 Molten) with more on the way.

2021/2022 ... Lava West continued its successes in 2021-2022, fielding more than twenty girls teams with top teams earning regional and national recognition at significant levels: seven teams qualified for the PVL, four medals earned in national competitions (Gold, Silver, Bronze, and Bronze), and three qualification bids to Junior Nationals (17 Adidas, 14 Adidas, 12 Adidas). We had a multitude of Top Five and Top Ten finishes at national tournaments. It cannot be overstated how tremendous an achievement the on-court performances of our teams were this season, nor how dominant our Lava West teams were as compared to the rest of Conejo Valley and greater Ventura County.

2020/2021 ... Lava West jumped right back to its successful ways during the challenging club season of 2020-2021. It was challenging for all in the midst of the pandemic, but Lava West earned rave reviews for its handling of the pandemic and we are immensely proud of our success in keeping our athletes, coaches, parents, and the community safe. On court, five Lava West teams qualified for the inaugural season of the Premier Volleyball League (PVL), the elite-level regional power league, easily the most of any club in Ventura County. The club won three medals in national tournament competition (Silver, Bronze, and Bronze) and three teams (18 Adidas, 16 Adidas, and 11 Adidas) earned qualification bids to Junior Nationals. We also had multiple Top 10 finishes at national tournaments, with highlights including 17 Adidas finishing 4th at the Pacific Northwest JNQ in Spokane, 16 Adidas taking 7th at the President's Day PVL Classic, and 15 Adidas finishing 10th at the Lonestar Classic in Houston.

2019/2020 ... In a pandemic-shortened season, there was minimal tournament play to allow West teams to earn accolades. At the Las Vegas Classic over President's Day weekend, our 17 Adidas, 16 Adidas, and 15 Adidas teams all finished in the upper half of teams in Open Division play, highlighted by the 17's finishing Top 12 in Open Elite. All LAVA West Adidas teams were competing in the Gold Divisions of the SCVA (Top 64), highlighted by 13 Adidas earning their way into Division One. 15 Adidas and 17 Adidas played their way into Division Two.

2018/2019 ... LAVA West 16 Adidas won a Silver Medal at the USA Volleyball Junior National Championships in Indianapolis in July 2019 (16 Patriot). The 18 Adidas team qualified for 18's Junior Nationals (USA) and finished in the Top 12 at that tournament. Two teams played their way into Division One of the SCVA: Lava West 14 Adidas and Lava West 18 Adidas. Every Adidas team competed in the Gold Bracket (Top 64) of the SCVA Regional League.

2017/2018 ... LAVA West won four medals in national tournament competition: a Silver Medal (17's National) and a Gold Medal (15's Patriot) at the 2018 USA Volleyball Junior National Championships in Detroit, a Bronze Medal (17's Open) at the Las Vegas Classic, and a Bronze Medal (17's USA) at the Pacific Northwest Junior National Qualifier in Spokane. Two teams earned highly coveted and rare bids to Junior Nationals, Lava West 17 Adidas (National bid via regional performance and USA bid at the PNW JNQ) and Lava West 16 Adidas (American bid via regional performance). Three teams played their way into Division One of the SCVA: Lava West 13 Adidas, Lava West 15 Adidas, and Lava West 16 Adidas. 12 Adidas and 17 Adidas played their way into Division Two. Every Adidas team competed in the Gold Bracket (Top 64) of the SCVA Regional League.

2016/2017 ... LAVA West won three medals in national tournament competition: a Gold Medal (18's Patriot) at the 2017 USA Volleyball Junior National Championships in Dallas, a Bronze Medal (16's USA) at the Mideast Junior National Qualifier in Indianapolis, and a Bronze Medal (12's Open) at the JVA West Coast Cup in Long Beach. Two teams earned bids to Junior Nationals, Lava West 16 Adidas (USA at the MEQ JNQ) and Lava West 14 Adidas (USA at the SCVA JNQ). Our Lava West 18 Adidas team finished the year ranked #5 overall in the SCVA 18's Division, topped only by our Lava West 16 Adidas team which spent the entire season in Division One for 16's and finished #3 overall. Lava West 14 Adidas also reached Division One and every Adidas team competed in the Gold of SCVA (Top 64).

2015/2016 ... LAVA West won three medals in national tournament competition: a Gold Medal (16's USA) at the Pacific Northwest Junior National Qualifier in Spokane, a Bronze Medal (15's USA) at the SoCal Junior National Qualifier in Anaheim, and a Bronze Medal (14's Patriot) at the 2016 USA Volleyball Junior National Championships. Two teams earned bids to Junior Nationals, Lava West 16 Adidas (USA at the PNW JNQ) and Lava West 15 Adidas (Open via regional performance and USA via SCVA JNQ). Lava West 15 Adidas and Lava West 14 Adidas reached Division One of the SCVA, while every Adidas team again competed in the Gold of SCVA (Top 64).

Additional Highlights from Previous Seasons Include: a Gold Medal (14's USA) at the SoCal Junior National Qualifier in Anaheim; a Gold Medal (18's Open) at the Volleyball Festival National Championships; and bids earned in by Lava West 14 Adidas (USA at the SCVA JNQ) and Lava West 13 Adidas (American via regional performance) not to mention more than thirty Top Five finishes at competitive national tournaments.

Simply stated, Lava West has dominated the competition ... and it's not even close. Congratulations to our Lava West teams!
