About Us
Saskatchewan Cricket Association (SCA) and Cricket in Canada
Welcome to the Saskatchewan Cricket Association (SCA), your gateway to the exciting world of cricket in the heart of Canada. Established on March 29th, 1977, the SCA stands as a proud testament to the rich history and growing popularity of the sport in Saskatchewan. With a mission to nurture the passion for cricket across the province, the SCA has been instrumental in promoting the game at all levels, from grassroots initiatives to elite competitions.
Cricket holds a special place in the fabric of Canadian culture, with a significant milestone occurring when Sir John A. Macdonald and his cabinet declared cricket to be Canada's first official sport. This historic moment reflects the deep-rooted connection between cricket and Canadian heritage, underscoring the sport's enduring legacy in the country.
Today, Cricket Canada serves as the governing body of the sport, overseeing its development and administration at all levels nationwide. From grassroots initiatives to elite competitions, Cricket Canada plays a vital role in promoting the growth, accessibility, and excellence of cricket across the country.
In Saskatchewan, cricket has steadily gained popularity, with local communities embracing the sport and forming vibrant cricketing hubs. The Saskatchewan Cricket Association, founded to promote and develop cricket within the province, plays a pivotal role in advancing the game, organizing leagues, tournaments, and training programs to cater to players of all ages and skill levels.
As we embark on this cricketing journey together, let us celebrate the rich history, diverse culture, and boundless potential of cricket in Canada. Whether you're a seasoned player, a passionate fan, or someone curious to explore the joys of cricket, the Saskatchewan Cricket Association welcomes you to be part of our ever-growing cricketing family.
