Our Mission
The USA City Games provides continuous opportunities for The LA Watts Summer and Winter Games, and youth sporting programs & events for underserved communities in Los Angeles and expansion to like-minded communities throughout the country.
“Every young person in Los Angeles deserves the opportunity to excel, to know the thrill of competition, and to build values of equality, teamwork and fair play that will serve them well throughout their lives. I hereby declare the Los Angeles Watts Summer Games, back!”
“We’re really excited that we have been successful in bringing the games back,” says Billy Frank, Cheif Executive Officer, of the USA City Games, the umbrella company of “The L.A. Watts Summer Games which were conceived to bridge racial barriers after the 1965 L.A. Watts Rebellion.”

Program History
The inaugural L.A. Watts Summer Games were held in 1968 at Locke High School. Originally called the Watts Summer Olympics, the Games were modeled after the Olympic Games by Bill Sims and fellow members of the Los Angeles Junior Chamber of Commerce.
“The L.A. Watts Summer Games will continue the legacy, not only in Los Angeles, but also nationally as youth sports programs are a great vehicle to bring together communities through healthy competition and sportsmanship.”
“Our goal is to foster young aspiring athletes while providing an educational, health and athletic pathway for them to strive for excellence, embrace commonalities, respond to leadership, accept diversity through engagement in team sports.”
