The Foundation of Future Stars

Mississauga Cricket Premier League & Brampton Youth Cricket Association: The Foundation of Future Stars

At the Ontario Cricket Academy (OCA), we believe that consistent match experience is the cornerstone of long-term cricket development. That’s why our players benefit from active participation in two of Canada’s leading youth cricket leagues—the Mississauga Cricket Premier League (MCPL) and the Brampton Youth Cricket Association (BYCA).

These leagues are more than seasonal competitions—they are developmental platforms where players learn, grow, and thrive.

Unmatched Playing Opportunities

No academy in Canada offers more games to its players than OCA. With access to both MCPL and BYCA, our athletes experience a volume and variety of cricket that far surpasses standard programs.

From structured league formats to regular fixtures across multiple age groups, OCA athletes are constantly immersed in game environments, learning to make decisions under pressure and adapt to different match situations. It’s here that they sharpen their cricket instincts and develop true game sense.

Learning the Fundamentals—The Right Way

The MCPL and BYCA are designed with player development at their core. Weekly matches provide the ideal setting for players to:

  • Apply technical skills learned in training

  • Understand match tactics and scenarios

  • Develop leadership and communication

  • Learn how to handle success and setbacks

Our coaching staff ensures that players not only perform but reflect, adapt, and improve with every match.

A Proven Pathway to the National Team

The track record speaks for itself. Many of OCA’s top performers who have gone on to represent Canada at the national and international level began their cricket journey right here—playing in the MCPL and BYCA.

These leagues have become the starting point of excellence for countless athletes. The foundation built here, combined with OCA’s high-performance training environment, has proven to be a launchpad to elite-level cricket.

Why This Matters to Parents and Players

If you're a parent looking to give your child the best opportunity to grow through cricket, or a young athlete with big dreams, these leagues matter. They represent:

  • More matches = more experience

  • More challenges = more growth

  • More feedback = more improvement

OCA’s involvement in the MCPL and BYCA is not just about participation—it's about structured, purposeful development.

Start Your Journey with OCA

Whether your child is just starting out or is already dreaming of higher honours, the combination of OCA’s professional coaching and these elite youth leagues provides the ideal platform for success.
