Youth Camp
The SCJCA Youth Cricket Incentive Program gives young athletes an exciting opportunity to explore the sport of cricket while developing leadership, discipline, and teamwork skills that extend far beyond the field.
This 10-week experience blends athletic training, mentorship, and life skills workshops — all designed to help youth grow as players and as individuals. Participants can also earn a financial incentive for their consistent participation and commitment throughout the program.
