Started by Stan Kent and his fellow cricket enthusiasts playing on a matting wicket, the club has quickly grown into one of the largest and most active clubs in the NCCA. Within a few years of its inception, SCCC was recognized as the official cricket club of the city of Santa Clara. Its ground, hosts many of the NCCA premier tournaments as it is one of the largest and best cricket facilities in the Bay Area. SCCC members consistently win NCCA batting, bowling and fielding awards, and are regularly selected in NCCA teams.
