About Us
Bay Area Cricket Alliance started in 1999 and has grown by leaps and bounds since then to become one of the best organized cricket leagues in the US. BACA currently has 16 teams and more than 200 members play in this League.
The League cricket is played April through October each year followed by Knockout competition for the league teams. The crikcet grounds are obtained from schools with the help of Parks and Recreation Departments, County, School Districts and local committees. As of now BACA league cricket is played on ten different grounds from San Jose to Sacramento. In most instances the grounds are shared by two teams, at least.
In addition to above mentioned League games, BACA promotes cricket by organizing tournaments and parallel activities for its members. It hosts a variety other Cricketing Events by inviting teams from all over the US and sends its representative teams to play in other states. The organization is constantly working hard to promote the game at all levels, particularly in schools.
In 2000 BACA started Youth Cricket program. The Summer Cricket Camp for Youth was great success. Nearly thirty children in the age of 10-13 years were part of that program in 2002. Coaches were provided by the organization to infuse the art of playing cricket. Encouraged by the success of this event, BACA is planning to host such events more often.
In addition to league cricket, the premier event, BACA organizes Cricket Festival to mark the Independence day celebrations, Golden Gate Cricket Tournament and All Rounder competition each year.
Behind all this success is a lot of support from the City of San Jose and the City of Milpitas. These tournament provides a great platform popularizing the game in USA.
