That doesn't mean you shouldn't have a will if you have any value in your estate, but I just wanted to point out there are no balls involved.

Make your trust payable starting at age 16 or 18 (or use a trustee to administer if they are younger), and extend to at least 25. Talk to an attorney before passing a house to your heirs. A trust is a good method, especially in California.
