Our goal is to establish long and short term sponsorship relationships with multi-national corporate entities to assure the continued growth of this wonderful sport of Cricket beyond the development stages. C.C.U.S.A. also aims to develop a new generation of U.S. Cricketers at the grass-root level through an intensive program of coaching the fundamental skills of Cricket through our U.S. Cricket Academy Summer Camps. Our immediate vision is to see 20/20 Cricket compete with other popular professional sports in the USA.
