United States Youth Cricket Association

[4] USYCA is a program partner with the President's Council on Physical Fitness and Sports, and is a tax-exempt organization under section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code.

The referral came by way of Rebecca Mulgrew of CA, who first came into contact with Harrison in 2009 while he was coaching the cricket team at Cardinal Gibbons School in Baltimore.

[3] Also that summer, USYCA produced its constitution,[20] which was largely based upon the USACA document, and in August the organization elected its first office holders.

[32] In November, USYCA was granted Associate Member status by USACA, and made itself eligible for recognition and support from the International Cricket Council.

[34][35] This award in January 2011 came only days after Mike Young, the American fielding coach for the Australian national cricket team, had come out in public support for USYCA, modeling the organization's apparel at a photo shoot on the banks of the Yarra River in Melbourne, only hours before the Aussies were to take on the English in a One Day International match.

[36] In February, American Cricket Champ sets began to arrive at USYCA headquarters in Maryland, and were quickly redistributed to schools across the country.

[39] In June, USYCA donated cricket sets to sixteen Alabama schools that had suffered severe tornado damage two months prior.

The field is located centrally 20 miles south of Wichita, Kansas, and it had been the vision of USYCA vice-president Edward Fox, who personally funded the construction at a total cost of $120,000.

[44] Maryland Deputy Secretary of State, Rajan Natarajan, attended the matches, and presented awards following it.

NYCL in 2017 featured 45 Teams and was held in Connecticut and New Jersey, hosted by New England Youth Cricket Academy, DreamCricket and CricMax.

This day was selected because it was on that day in 2010 that Venu Palaparthi wrote to Harrison on behalf of DreamCricket.com, making the initial offer of donated cricket sets: "We would like to support any initiative in Maryland that involves putting basic cricket kits in the hands of Phy Ed teachers.
