American Falcons Cricket Academy

AFCA, American Falcons Cricket academy was founded in May 2006 by a small group of cricket lovers who had emigrated from South Asia and renamed in 2009 to American Falcons Cricket Academy (AFCA). Most of us had played cricket back home and wanted to continue our love affair with the game. As more and more people became interested in joining us we formulated a full-fledged Academy and approached the Washington Cricket League (WCL) for membership. Our greatest asset was our young players, friendly atmosphere and willingness to include anybody who had love for the game regardless of their ethnic background. First year we had players from USA, Australia, Pakistan, India, Bangladesh, and Jamaica etc. as word spread about the dramatic success of our team in first year itself, more and more players were drawn towards our Academy.

The AFC Academy is the first cricket academy in this metropolitan area; our goal is to promote the game of cricket in the youth of metropolitan area. The ultimate mission of the American Cricket Academy – a subset of the U.S. Cricket Development Program – is to provide a world class holistic cricket training environment that offers the opportunity for talented and developing cricket athletes, coaches and technical staff to achieve excellence in the national and international arena. This academy will provide the additional training and techniques to potential cricketers so as to increase the standard of USA Cricket on the International stage. A “Finishing School” for young cricketers with the identified potential to play in the first-class and international arena.

A facility which bringing the game of cricket and a lifestyle opportunity to all – regardless of background or gender. Guidance on how to set up after-school cricket programs, we want to make this fun for the youth and also for there families. Today, AFCA is considered one of the premier teams in the league and is highly regarded for it’s fair play and friendly atmosphere. We are one of the few teams that have never had any discipline problem with the league.
