Samoa Cricket is a not for profit Sports Organisation and the governing body of Cricket in Samoa. Our development cricket programs have a participation base of more than 30,000 of women and girls, boys and men including children and people with disabilities on both islands of Upolu and Savaii. The current practise when teams are prepared for international competitions, SICA recruits the coach from overseas on a part-time basis.

This is normally on a 2-3 months assignment before the national team departs for international competitions.
