Who we are
UCLA Cricket is a club brimming with talented young players who are all eager to further the sport and represent UCLA competitively. After having become an officially recognized club sport less than three years ago, we punched above our weight by placing first in the Pacific Zonals of the NCCA (National College Cricket Association) and made it to the semi-finals of the national tournament. This year we took a rough second in the Pacific Zonals, but our goals have not changed. We plan to take it all the way this year, but we will need your help to do so.
We strive to maintain practice facilities, compete in key tournaments like the NCCA Championships, and secure quality equipment. UCLA Cricket has also launched the first college women's team, a historic step that requires your support to fund its growth.
Our Results
Since earning official club status three years ago, UCLA Cricket Club has consistently delivered strong performances, proving itself as a powerhouse in collegiate cricket. Over the past seasons, the team has secured major wins, including a commanding 191-151 victory over UC Irvine and a thrilling 139-129 triumph against USC. The club has also engaged in fierce battles, such as the nail-biting 66-63 win over UCI and closely contested encounters with UC San Diego. With multiple victories across the NCCA Pacific Regionals and a track record of competing at the highest level, UCLA Cricket continues to push boundaries. Your support will help us fund travel, equipment, and tournament participation, ensuring we keep representing Bruin pride on the national stage!
Why Donate to Us?
Your support will directly contribute to the growth and success of UCLA Cricket, helping us compete at the highest level. The majority of our funds go toward covering tournament and national championship expenses, which we estimate to be $3,700 and $3,000, respectively. Additionally, your donations will help us cover essential costs such as entrance fees for tournaments ($500–$7,600), gear upgrades (pads, thigh guards, and other equipment), and transportation for away games, including gas and even plane tickets for national championships. We are also raising funds for a Bozu machine ($2,700), a crucial tool for improving our training. Every contribution, big or small, directly impacts our ability to compete and represent UCLA on a national stage.
Thank you for your support in helping UCLA’s Cricket Community as we strive for excellence and build sportsmanship!
