Chula Vista Olympic Training Center 20th Anniversary
The Chula Vista Olympic Training Center will celebrate its 20th anniversary in June and invites the community to take part in the celebration on Sunday, June 7, from 10:00 am – 5:00 pm.
The free celebration is open to the public with an abundance of activities. Throughout the day, guests will have the opportunity to give different Olympic and Paralympic sports a try – ride a BMX bike, shoot archery, aim for a field hockey goal, pass a rugby ball, spike a beach volleyball, kick around the soccer ball, play wheelchair tennis or experience running with a blindfold and guide runner like some of the CVOTC’s visually impaired athletes. Participants will need to wear closed-toe shoes for certain sports and sign a waiver.
For those more interested in spectating, Olympic and Paralympic sport demonstrations by CVOTC resident athletes and special guests will kick off at 11:00 am with an archery demonstration and carry on throughout the day on a staggered timeline so that event attendees can see everything.
Along with sports activities there will be music, food and fun. Local bands will be performing live music and an assortment of local food trucks will be on-site with food for purchase. The community expo will have a variety of local organizations represented with information and activities. Photo opportunities will abound with a real Olympic torch and numerous Olympians, Paralympians and CVOTC resident athletes in attendance. The Team USA shop will be open and stocked with gear available for purchase.
Sunday, June 7, will be a day filled with once-in-a-lifetime experiences. The Chula Vista Olympic Training Center is located at 2800 Olympic Parkway, Chula Vista, 91915. General parking will be available in the Visitor Center Parking lot at no charge and overflow parking will be directed through the south gate off Wueste Road.
