At Southern California Junior Cricket Academy (SCJCA), we believe in building stronger communities through sports and education. Our mission is to introduce the game of cricket to the youth of Compton and beyond, while integrating STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Mathematics) education to provide well-rounded learning experiences.
A Unique Blend of Sports & Education
Our current cohort, running now through April 19th, combines cricket training with STEAM-based learning to engage students in a meaningful way. Each session at Burrell McDonald Park (9:30 AM - 3:00 PM) is designed to:
✔ Develop athletic skills through structured cricket training.
✔ Foster teamwork and leadership through sportsmanship.
✔ Introduce scientific principles through hands-on STEAM workshops.
By using sports as a catalyst for education, we create opportunities for growth, mentorship, and engagement for youth between the ages of 7 to 17.
Incentivizing Learning & Engagement
To further support and encourage participation, our program offers stipends for students, including:
🎯 Up to a $100 Visa Gift Card
🎯 A $50 Amazon Card
This incentive helps ensure that learning and participation remain accessible and rewarding for all.
Certified Coaches & Dedicated Leadership
Our program is managed by SCJCA-certified coaches and staff, ensuring that participants receive high-quality training and educational guidance. Working closely with park staff and community leaders, we are proud to create an inclusive and supportive environment for every student.
Why Cricket? Why Compton?
Cricket is a global sport with a growing presence in the U.S., and SCJCA is leading the way in making it accessible to communities where it hasn’t traditionally been played. By bringing cricket to Compton, we are expanding opportunities, fostering diversity, and creating a space for youth to thrive in a sport that is gaining momentum worldwide.
Looking Ahead: How You Can Get Involved
We invite the community, parents, and local leaders to support SCJCA by:
✅ Attending our events and encouraging youth participation.
✅ Becoming a partner to help us expand resources.
✅ Spreading awareness about the program and its impact.
