snoqualmie wolves cricket academy
The Snoqualmie Wolves Cricket Academy started in Summer of 2024, with a decade-long vision to develop talent and eventually have a player represent the USA.
Our commitment is to train young cricketers from as early as age 4 and foster their growth up to age 16 in a structured pathway.
With year-round training, the academy strives to create a strong foundation with the 50+ young cricketers enrolled from Snoqualmie valley.
The academy operates as a volunteer player-coach setup, and this speaks volumes about the passion within the larger Wolves community.
We are committed to mentoring the next generation and ensuring cricket continues to thrive in the Snoqualmie Valley.
