What are the Ventura Corporate Games?
The Corporate Games program is a business-to-business team sports competition for companies and organizations throughout Ventura, Los Angeles, and Santa Barbara Counties. Teams are welcome to sign up to compete in a diverse line-up of activities, including pickleball, softball, cornhole, and much more.
The Corporate Games began in 1989 and is designed to build camaraderie and team spirit amongst professional work groups in a unique and friendly atmosphere. More info can be found at the City of Ventura's Corporate Games website.
