About us

We are Bradford Park Avenue Ladies Cricket Club founded in 2019 for all women and girls. We offer a range of cricket for all abilities and all age groups.

BPAL are a club that welcomes all women of all abilities to come and try a sport we love. We have teams in the West Yorkshire Womens and girls league, and the west Yorkshire softball league for those who just want to have a bit of fun.

Here at BPAL CC we are all about enjoyment, and not just on the cricket pitch. BPAL CC is a environment that thrives on the friendships that has been built and continues to grow. We enjoy social meals, get togethers, cake (there’s always cake) and so much more. Our calendar is always full so please do come and visit us!.

Ladies Hardball

BPAL has a great opportunities when it comes to hardball. We play through the summer season in the West Yorkshire Womens and girls hardball league with 10 other teams from the area. BPAL are current holders of this title having won the cup in 2023. We also have hardball training through the summer and winter months, both indoors and outdoors.

Softball

Here at BPAL CC, we know that not all ladies fancy hardball. For those ladies that just want to come down for a bit of exercise and friendly competition, we also run softball. This game is for any ability, even if you have never picked up a cricket bat or ball. No need to worry about any equipment just come and give it a try. Training sessions run concurrently with the hardball, but catered for by use of softball bats and balls. BPAL CC will be entered into the West Yorkshire Softball league for 2021.
