VENTURA — Registration for the Corporate Games opens on Tuesday, January 6, 2026. This annual program features business-to-business competitions spanning several weeks to help organizations foster camaraderie among coworkers. All local businesses are welcome to register through February 6, 2026.

Last year’s Corporate Games hosted 78 companies from Ventura, Santa Barbara, and Los Angeles Counties, with thousands of participants. The County of Ventura, Northrop Grumman, Parker Oxnard, and Capsida were the overall champions among their divisions.

“Our goal is to strengthen connections within your team and inspire collaboration among new ones,” said Recreation Supervisor Tyler Nelson. “Together, you’ll gain a renewed sense of unity both on and off the field.”

This year’s diverse lineup of competitive activities will take place from March 21 to April 25, 2026, providing opportunities for all players to showcase their strengths.
