Our History
The dawn of March 2009 brought with it the culmination of a dream, a passion to play the sport of cricket in our adopted country. Having the luck and the opportunity to have the ‘Central Broward Regional Park’ in our vicinity was the icing on the cake. Cricket lovers who played as children in their backyard or at school across the seven seas now had an opportunity to play in an ICC approved stadium in their backyard.
A group of cricket enthusiasts led by Mr. Vinod Gulati and Ms. Amita Singh were instrumental in leading this idea to fruition. The vision was to give anyone with the interest in the game an opportunity to play especially the ones that did not or could not play in leagues. Sports is a great way to unite people and communities and the thought of bringing many different Indian and other organizations outdoors in a friendly competitive spirit, was the idea behind this organization being formed. It was also meant to be an opportunity to involve the families in a picnic, carnival fashion, all in the interest to promote the game.
TFC I began as a one day tournament with four team participation. IRCC won the coveted ‘Inaugural Trophy’ and a new era was born. With the help of our sponsors we were fortunate to be able to host the final of TFC II in the main stadium for the first time. Our moment of pride came when the legendary Mr. Clive Lloyd attended our final. SFTS lifting the trophy presented by the great Mr. Clive Lloyd will always be etched in our memory. At TFC V, we were honored to have another legendary cricketer, Mr. Lance Gibbs in our midst at the final.
We are all looking forward to have great competitive matches played in the true sportsmanship that the sport of cricket demands. Our special thanks to those who have been the heart and spirit of TFC and are ardent supporter in some way since its inception. The volunteers who work tirelessly for many long hours are the secret behind the success of TFC – we thank them profusely. Thanks to all the associations and clubs and their Presidents for participation and undying support. Ultimately, it is our wonderful sponsors who are the backbone of us being able to showcase our best. It is a warm moment when the American, Sri Lankan and the Indian National Anthems have been played at the awards function. As they say, a picture is worth a thousand words and memories are forever.
At the end of the day we all come out as winners with the spirit of TFC behind us. Our logo is multi-colored – “Bringing our Communities Together” – through sports!
