The USC team plays under the umbrella of the Southern California Cricket Association (SCCA) which falls under the South West Region of the USA Cricket Association. There are more than 50 club teams which are affiliated under the SCCA and is attracting more American youth than ever. The SCCA has been the premier organization which has single handedly promoted and developed the game of cricket in the Southern California Region in the past decades.
Its popularity has only grown ever since, not only in the domestic circuit but also internationally. The SCCA not only attracts youngster's learning how to play the game at a competitive level but also international stars like Franklyn Rose, Gary Crocker etc. who play for various club teams in the SCCA. The SCCA holds various tournaments during the course of the year, the most notable being the LA open 20-20 cup which attracts major stars from the international scene to come and compete for the title.

The SCCA also holds its annual rivalry games against other regions in the USACA, most notably against the Northern California Cricket Association.
