PCCR has come a long way in their 30 years journey, what started with a single cricket team has transformed into a full-fledge cricket club in the beautiful city of Rotterdam. It has become a prize-winning club that is known for its friendliness, a multi-cultural club that is able to host both seniors and youth to play the gentlemen’s game. As we say in Punjabi (the language of the province Punjab): Ji aayan nu! - We welcome you!
PCCR was founded in 1991 and throughout the years, it changed several locations and finally moved in 2006 to its present location. The club is situated very close to the motorway exit and a 10 minutes’ drive from city centre of Rotterdam.
In recent years, PCCR has invested intensively in their youth department and has multiple teams in different age groups playing in the Dutch cricket league, KNCB. As quoted by Aristotle: “Good habits formed at youth make all the difference”. Investing in the youth will reap the benefits in the future.
The kids actively train on weekdays and play their matches on the weekend and during the winter break, we facilitate them with indoor training.
The year 2021 was beside the 30th anniversary also the year in which PCCR secured the Dutch National Championship of the Topklasse cricket league. The happening was covered by the local media and attracted many visitors, despite the pandemic challenges. It was a long way to reach this milestone and we are proud to say we won the Dutch National Championship again in 2024!
The Board of Punjab Cricket Club Rotterdam is responsible for guiding the club’s vision, strategy, and operations. With a strong commitment to cricket and community, our board members bring diverse expertise to ensure the continued growth and success of the club.
