About the U.S. Olympic Training Center in Chula Vista
The Olympic Training Center
The U.S. Olympic Training Center in Chula Vista is the first USOC training center to be master-planned from the ground up, dedicated to the development and performance of America’s future Olympic athletes. The year-round, warm-weather facility in Chula Vista, California was a gift to the United States Olympic Committee from the San Diego National Sports Training Foundation, a group of dedicated business and community leaders, and volunteers who raised the funds to build the Center.
The U.S. Olympic Training Center rests on a 155-acres complex adjacent to Lower Otay Reservoir in San Diego County. The Center operates sport venues and support facilities for the Olympic sports of archery, canoe/kayak, cycling, field hockey, rowing, soccer, softball, tennis, track and field, and triathlon. The Sport Pavilion provides indoor space for training, conferences and special events.
Through programs developed by the national governing bodies of each sport, an estimated 4,000 athletes a year receive the coaching, support, and facilities necessary to be their best.
The Center, which officially opened in June 1995, not only benefits thousands of Olympic hopefuls, but also serves local youth and citizens nationwide. The U.S. Olympic Training Center has been designed to accommodate thousands of daily visitors with escorted tours of our nation’s state-of-the-art Training Center at no charge. Thousands of student-athletes and coaches also gain access to the Center for clinics and competitions when venues are not being utilized by Olympic athletes-in-training.
