Bengals Inc.
Our Mission
"Empowering Community and Excellence Through Sport"
To foster a vibrant, inclusive community through the power of sport. We are dedicated to nurturing talent, promoting physical wellness, and inspiring a lifelong passion for excellence, both on and off the field. Our mission extends beyond competitive cricket to building community connections, youth development, and cultural unity.
Our Impact
Since our founding in 2018, we've been dedicated to making cricket accessible and fostering a love for the sport across Northern California.
Our Story
Why
Bengals Inc. was established as a non-profit organization with a simple but powerful belief: sport is a universal language that builds community, character, and opportunity. In a fast-paced, digitally driven world, sports provide balance—nurturing physical health, mental resilience, discipline, teamwork, leadership, and respect.
What
At its core, Bengals Inc. promotes cricket across the Bay Area as both a competitive and community sport. Cricket is the foundation, but our vision goes far beyond one game. We aspire to evolve into a multi-sport community club—embracing running, volleyball, badminton, soccer, baseball, and more.
How
Bengals Inc. achieves this by building organized teams and leagues, partnering with schools and local districts, investing in youth development, and creating safe, well-governed pathways for participation. Golden State Cricket Club (GSCC) is Step 1 in this journey—a move driven by the desire for a larger, more inclusive brand identity.
