American
Cricket Federation (ACF) received an outpouring of support from leagues
and organizations from across the country ahead of its first Face to
Face meeting in Orlando on August 11, 2012.
Ten leagues wrote to
the ACF Steering Committee expressing their support to the ACF and its
guiding principles. More leagues are expected to announce their support
in the days following the meeting.
In their letter, the leagues
noted that they were committed to ACF's stated goal of upholding
cricket’s values of transparency, inclusiveness and fairness. The
leagues expressed their willingness to work with the ACF in building an
organization that is accountable to all cricket stakeholders and capable
of growing the sport by attracting more players, clubs, leagues, fans
and investors.
Once the ACF constitution is ratified and a
membership structure is in place, these leagues are expected to join as
founding members.
The signatory leagues include Eastern American
Cricket Association, Cricket League of New Jersey, Washington
Metropolitan Cricket Board, Commonwealth Cricket League of New York,
Florida Cricket Conference, Michigan Cricket Association, Minnesota
Cricket Association, Midwest Cricket Conference, American Cricket
Conference and NorthWest Cricket League.
Together, these leagues comprise over 250 clubs and are estimated to be among the largest leagues in their respective regions.
