Safe and Peaceful Surroundings
Coalinga is a safe, small town where you can excell at your education as well as volleyball.

A Great Volleyball Experience
Maybe the most important reason. You will be getting quality coaching from coaches that bring a great deal of experience and concern for your development. You will learn some of the latest techniques - the same ones that our National Team and teams all around the world are using. But the coaches are not just concerned with your playing development, but with your academic, social, and personal growth as well. When you leave West Hills, you will have learned a tremendous amount, but you will have gained friendships and experinces that will last a lifetime.

Our success is measured only by the success of our alumni.

California community colleges are NOT allowed to offer athletic scholarships. No community college in California may provide an athletic scholarship, housing, or transportation based on athletics.

However, numerous academic scholarships are available on a first come, first serve basis for those who apply.

The athletic facilities will be undergoing some major rennovations over the next few years. Included in the rennovation is the Falcon Gym, the women's locker room and the addition of a new weight room, rehabilitation center, offices, and athletic training room.

In addition to modern athletic facilities, West Hills boasts some of the most modernized classrooms in California, with wireless networking and internet access in every classroom. Additionally, instructors have the latest multi media technology at their fingertips in each classroom for a state of the art teaching environment.

What if I don't live in California?

If you don't live in California you may still be able to play at West Hills College. Not only have we had players from out of state, we have had players from as far away as Japan, Puerto Rico, Bulgaria. In any case, you will need to fill out our questionnaire first.

Also, be aware that out of State tuition is much higher. If you establish residency in California your first year, then you can enjoy the low cost of in-state tuition the second.
