Compton Cricket Club
The Compton Cricket Club (CCC), or the "Homies and the POPz", is a cricket club based in Compton, Los Angeles County, California, USA. The CCC is the only all American-born exhibition cricket team. The CCC has toured the United Kingdom four times.
On the night of the photoshoot for an advertising campaign featuring the CCC modelling the new National English Football jersey in LA, one of the team members was fatally shot as an innocent bystander in a drive-by shooting in Compton.
The team was originally called the Los Angeles Krickets. In the early 1990s, the club toured England, where they played at Hambledon. Upon their return, the Los Angeles Krickets took a new direction after Disney signed all members of the team up for a film project. The publicity garnered by the tour was unprecedented in American cricket circles and included coverage by BBC Four, KTLA, ITV, Sky News, The Australian, The Daily Telegraph and numerous local newspapers in England and Australia.
Compton Cricket Club was started at the Dome Village Homeless Community in Downtown Los Angeles in 1995, by US homeless activist Ted Hayes and Hollywood movie producer Katy Haber,[citation needed] to combat the negative effects of poverty and homelessness. After a highly successful tour of Great Britain later that year, the LA Krickets expanded to include inner city Latino gang members from the City of Compton. The Compton Homies and the Popz (Compton Cricket Club) emerged in 1996 as the first All American Inner City Cricket Team. The club uses the ideals of sportsmanship, and the particular importance of etiquette and fair play in cricket, to help players develop respect for authority, a sense of self-esteem and self-discipline. The Compton Homies travelled to the UK in 1997, 1999, and 2001, joined LASCA (the Los Angeles Social Cricket Alliance) and won the British Cup twice.
(Team Founder, Compton Cricket Club, Ted Hayes)
The 'Homies' mission is to:
The team motto of 'Let the game begin again in America' harkens back to the former popularity of cricket in the United States during the 19th century.
The majority of the team is formed of the founding members and Hayes sees them as a "cross-generational village-like team".
