Training Center — CVEATC
Training Center — CVEATC
Opened in June 1995 as the first Olympic Training Center ever master-planned from the ground up, the CVEATC is Chula Vista's crown jewel — a 155-acre complex on the shores of Lower Otay Reservoir that is home to over 20 Olympic and Paralympic sports. This is where US Olympians train. And it is also where Chula Vista youth athletes compete, participate in camps, and train alongside the best in the world.
The City of Chula Vista actively uses the facility for youth development teams, tournaments, and camps. Parents in Chula Vista can enroll children in programs at the same venue that Olympic teams use for pre-Games preparation. It is the single most extraordinary youth sports facility in all of San Diego County — and it belongs to the community.

Why Chula Vista for Youth Sports
Why Chula Vista Is One of
San Diego's Best Cities
to Raise a Young Athlete
Beyond the Olympic Training Center, Chula Vista has built a comprehensive youth sports infrastructure that serves one of the fastest-growing family communities in Southern California. The City of Chula Vista operates youth sports leagues at community centers and parks throughout its five zip codes — accessible, affordable, and genuinely welcoming to families at every income level.
The city's geographic diversity — from the established western neighborhoods around 91910 and 91911 to the master-planned communities of Eastlake (91913), Rolling Hills Ranch (91914), and Otay Ranch (91915) — means youth sports infrastructure is spread across the entire city rather than concentrated in one area. Every Chula Vista family has access to quality youth sports within close distance of their home.
Chula Vista's proximity to Mexico also gives it a uniquely rich soccer culture — the Chula Vista youth soccer community draws from a passionate bilingual base that brings deep love for the beautiful game at every age and level.
