Youth Cricket Advocacy

In addition to hosting the cricket event, SCYCA has a contingent of five youth cricket teams competing in the tournament, including blue and red teams in the U11 and U13 categories, and an SCYCA U15 group.

Overall, approximately 125 U11 players, 122 U13 players, and 33 U15 youth cricket players registered to participate, making the SCYCA Labor Day Cricket Tournament one of the largest youth cricket tournaments. The event is intended to function as a platform for young cricket players across all skill levels, genders, ages, and regions to gain real, valuable T20 cricket experience. Each team will have the opportunity to compete in multiple matches in order to practice and reinforce learning of match skills, rules, and strategies.

The nearly 300 registrations and growth of the tournament reveal the importance of providing resources, facilities, and match time for developing cricket players in California and beyond. Since its founding in 2014, Southern California Youth Cricket Academy has been dedicated to nurturing the game of cricket at the grassroots level, and the SCYCA Labor Day Youth Cricket Tournament 2024 exemplifies this commitment to that mission.

We encourage friends, family, and members of the community to come out and celebrate the growth of cricket at the SCYCA Labor Day Youth Cricket Tournament 2024.
