2011 American College Cricket Championship dates announced !

    The dates of the 2011 American College Cricket Spring Break Championship will be March 15-20, 2011. March 15 – 19 will feature the Playoffs, followed by the Semi-finals and Finals on March 20th.

The Cricket Stadium and the side-fields at Central Broward Regional Park, Lauderhill, near Ft. Lauderdale will once again be the Championship venue, and the fields have already been reserved. Additional fields will also be used.

The American College Cricket Championship began in 2009, with five Colleges, and quickly grew to 20 Colleges in 2010. Whilst March Madness in college basketball is considering expanding the number of teams, College Cricket is experiencing tremendous growth in a very short time. The NY Times, Washington Post, Canada’s “Globe & Mail”,Voice of America, NY Daily News, Good Morning Arizona,the Florida Sun Sentinel and Sports Illustrated headline the USA & Canadian media that have taken notice of the growth.

College Media of York University,Ohio State, NYU-Poly, UMBC,Rutgers, York College, George Washington U,Auburn, Montgomery College,Thunderbird Global, George Mason U,USC Trojans,and College of Wooster have written about their Cricket Clubs, in many cases for the frist time.

The 2010 American College Cricket Championship was the first major live video broadcast of any cricket played in the USA, and with tremendous success, as thousands watched. The games were even carried live on the Jumbotrons at the Square One Mall in Toronto, Canada.

The 2010 Championship also saw innovations such as time limits that ensured games finished within 3 hours, thus making the action more fast-paced and enhancing the excitement. Without altering the game itself this rendered it more broadcast-media and spectator friendly.

American College Cricket VP Nino DiLoreto said, “The 2010 webcast of the Semis and Finals’ link was carried by the ICC website, USA Cricket, CricketCanada.org, and more. It was a huge success and we plan to webcast more games in 2011.

The Greater Ft Lauderdale Convention & Tourism Bureau  welcomed American College Cricket Championship to the list of great American sporting events South Florida has hosted:  10 Super Bowls, NHL All Star Game, NBA All Star Game, NBA Championship Finals, NCAA Basketball & Baseball Regionals, Breeders Cup, FED EX Orange Bowl, BCS Football Championship, Sony Ericsson Tennis Championship, NASCAR Championship – and we look forward to 2011.”

American College Cricket President Lloyd Jodah, who was featured in Part 3 of the recently released  International Cricket Council (ICC) film documentary ‘Cricket in America’ said, ” York University (Canada) is eager to defend the Chanderpaul Trophy, and many new college clubs are joining American College Cricket. We are assisting in the formation of cricket clubs and developing teams at Universities all across the USA and Canada.”

The teams that particpated in the 2010 Championship were from York University,Ohio State, NYU-Poly,UMBC,York College,George Washington U,Auburn, Montgomery College,Thunderbird Global, George Mason U,USC Trojans, College of Wooster, Rutgers, UMiami, St.Cloud State U, University of Minnesota,UPenn, U of South Florida, Boston U and the University of the West Indies as “Special Guests” .

The particpation of athletes from the Caribbean (West Indies) in the Penn Relays has long been to the mutual benefit of US and Caribbean Track & Field.
