Basketball Tournaments

Picture
The Sunrise Optimist Club of Ventura partners with the East Ventura Optimist Club to help run two basketball tournaments each year. These tournaments are held in December and April, giving thousands of youth an opportunity to participate in competitive sports. Proceeds from the Ventura Seaside Tournament serves as a major fundraising project for both clubs, thereby allowing us to further support the young people in our community.

Local businesses and individuals are welcomed as sponsors.  Contributions may be sent to the Sunrise Optimist Club, P.O. Box 3056, Ventura, CA 93006, with a note to earmark for the Basketball Tournament.


Ventura College - Optimist Club Holiday Tournament

Ventura College hosts the three-day Ventura Optimist Holiday Tournament at the end of December each year. This tournament, organized by Ned Mercetic, the Ventura College women's coach,  features some of the top women's basketball teams in Southern California.


Ventura Seaside Basketball Tournament

The Ventura Seaside Basketball (VSBB) tournament is the largest youth basketball tournament in Ventura County.  In the last 20 years of sponsoring this tournament (in partnership with the East Ventura Optimist Club), we have raised over $700,000.00.  Ninety-Eight Percent of funds raised goes back to our community's youth through our scholarship programs.  In addition over 130 teams and their families visit Ventura throughout the tournament weekend providing a real financial boost for local businesses.   For more information go to vsbb.org
