Tennis Cricket League (TCL)
The TCL league has grown in strength from a few teams to
over twenty regular teams now, the TCL tournament hub
being “Veterans Memorial Park” in Phoenixville where
matches are conducted every Saturday and Sunday during
the cricket season that spans from April through October
every year. Like all great world sports, “Cricket” is at heart,
a very simple game. One player throws a ball, another tries to
hit it. But, like all sports, it has to have a set of rules to play by,
which have to be learned, and specific terminology which can
be complicated and very confusing.  The TCL will be more than
happy to conduct a Cricket 101 session for Phoenixville residents
to explain the game and the rules as well as offer first hand
exposure to the game while the games are in progress.
