YOUTH CRICKET ASSOCIATION
Compromise for your dream but never compromise on your dream.
YOU DON'T NEED TO PLAY EVERY BALL BUT EVERY BALL NEEDS YOUR JUDGEMENT
Youth Cricket Wisconsin, is now a 501 (c)(3) nonprofit organization, was born with an idea of giving back to community through youth sport - without knowing where and how to start. Like minded small group of parents, started with sport known and close to their heart - the game of Cricket. The journey began in June 2019 with 6 kids to connect and give back to community, build character among all involved and share game of cricket.
Our vision with three foundation pillars
- Character (Servant leadership, teamwork, discipline)
- Community (Serving others, humility and sacrifice)
- Cricket (Play the right way - with class)
THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN ORDINARY
To create selfless team of volunteers with positive attitude of investing back into our community. Fast forward today, we have 40+ athletes backed by team of active parents involved from day to day operations, to identify and drive all current and new initiatives.
When addressing character we decided to give the athletes opportunities to show servant leadership through mentoring and assigning them various responsibilities.
This is further reinforced through our community pillar. In teaching our athletes about community we want them to reach beyond the cricket community and become involved within the entire metropolitan area.
WHY YOU SHOULD SUPPORT OUR ORGANIZATION?
Cricket is a popular sport around the world with billions of followers. In the US, it is hardly heard of by the local communities. A large challenge we face is lack of awareness of the sports, its rules and adoption. Furthermore, lack of infrastructure and short outdoor playing season further slows adoption. Our vision is to overcome these challenges with public education, youth coaching and engagement with playing cricket.
Your support can be in spreading awareness, donating time, or supporting financially through direct contributions or indirect funding of our teams and athletes. We would like to get you involved in this movement!
