Angel City Sports

Driven by the belief that all individuals should have access to opportunities for physical activity and athletic competition, Angel City Sports is leading the Paralympic and Adaptive Sports movement in Southern California. Our mission is to provide adaptive sports programming for individuals of all ages with physical differences and impairment. Angel City Sports was founded in 2013 by father and son Clayton and Ezra Frech. The first Angel City Games were held in 2015, in partnership with UCLA Recreation. The event was huge hit with families, volunteers, sponsors, partners, and most importantly the athletes—many of whom had never participated in Adaptive Sports. The 2016 Angel City Games expanded to four days and featured a Track & Field competition and clinics in Archery, Swimming, Soccer, Wheelchair Tennis, Track & Field, and Wheelchair Basketball. The Angel City Games are sanctioned by Adaptive Sports USA, meaning that athlete results will count towards national records and may qualify them for participation in the National Junior Disability Championships (NJDC). Recognizing the tremendous barriers for the disabled community to become active and participate in sports, we now offer a year-round schedule of introductory Adaptive Sport clinics, so our athletes have opportunities to learn and train in a variety of sports. We’re also building an inventory of Adaptive Sports equipment to be loaned and rented to other programs and individuals who want to get into the game. Angel City Sports is supported by generous contributions from individuals, corporations, and private foundations. We are proud to partner with a long list of sponsors including UCLA Recreation, Shamrock Capital Advisors, Looking Beyond, Snow Companies, Foundation for Global Sport and Development, Hanger Clinic, Snap, Looking Beyond, and the Christopher & Dana Reeve Foundation.
