California State Games is a nonprofit organization that runs a multi-sport festival offering Olympic-style competition for amateur athletes in California across ages and abilities. As a grassroots program aligned with the US Olympic Committee, it seeks to promote health, education, and the competitive spirit by organizing an event that encourages broad participation and provides an Olympic-style experience. Based in San Diego, California, the organization operates with a small staff. California is one of 44 states that conduct state-level Games, and participants at the Cal State Games can qualify for the State Games of America, which occurs every two years. The program prioritizes youth engagement and community involvement, drawing participants from diverse backgrounds and skill levels, including both former and future Olympians as well as others for whom the Games symbolize a significant achievement. In addition to the summer event, the organization also hosts a Winter Games featuring sports such as ice hockey, figure skating, and roller skating.
