DaNang Dragons Cricket Club
You are warmly invited to join our vibrant cricket community in central Vietnam. A dedicated group of expats and Vietnamese members who play with Yorkers, guglis, bouncers and deadly inswingers.
The first Cricket Club in DaNang, Central Vietnam.
Welcome to DaNang Dragons, the first cricket club in central Vietnam. Our mission is to train Vietnamese men, women and teens to understand the game and rules to compete with other cricket playing nations.
If you are interested, please join our practice sessions every weekend to have some fun. Just don’t worry about your skills or safety as we only use tennis balls with newbies. This is the best club to improve your English and Cricket at the same time!
What is Cricket, "Crích-kê" in Vietnamese?
It is a sport which is recognized by the Olympic, SEA Games, and other international organizations. Cricket was born in England, and later it moved to English colonies rapidly. Nowadays, Singapore, Thailand, Malaysia, Hong Kong, Cambodia, South Korea, China and many other Asian countries play cricket internationally.
What do I need to play Cricket?
A cricket match will be played between 2 teams, and each team must have 11 players plus one extra. We need a cricket ground, a ball, bats, and wickets to start playing. Don’t worry! We have all of those and you just pay a visit to explore everything.
Can a foreigner join Cricket in DaNang?
Yes dear! DaNang Dragons cricket club is founded by expats who have lived in Vietnam for a long time. Some of our members are married to Vietnamese families and they power this social work from their best. If you feel you can give us a helping hand, please contact us.
Why Do We Charge A Membership Fee?
Running a cricket club is quite challenging and it needs a lot of energy, effort and funds. As the cricket ground must be bigger than a usual football ground, we have to rent the largest venue that belongs to Vietnam Korea University. We also have to renew our equipment from time to time. Please support us by paying your membership fee at the right time.
