BOLTON VILLAS CRICKET CLUB

Steve from The Idle Lord.com has requested a link to his cricket club site with a bit of info
BOLTON VILLAS CRICKET CLUB


Bolton Villas Cricket Club is a proud member of the Airedale & Wharfedale Cricket League, Bradford Junior League and the Bradford Evening League. We are situated in the Parish of Bolton on the outskirts of Bradford, on the border between the old village of Idle and Wrose.
We run two Senior Saturday teams, along with a thriving junior section, which has teams at Under 9, 11, 13 and 15 levels and an Academy side which plays in the Bradford Evening League. Net sessions take place on Tuesdays (Seniors & Under 17s) and Mondays (Junior under 11, 13 and 15s). We have a number of fully qualified coaches helping to run teams at all levels. All coaches are CRB checked and regularly update their necessary qualifications.

After much hard work BVCC were proud to be accredited with Clubmark Status in 2012. We’ve been recognised for putting in place a high quality organisation for the development of youth cricket in the community. Clubmark is the ECB and Sport England national accreditation scheme that sees to recognise safe, effective and child friendly practices within clubs. Clubmark also enables us to be better positioned when applying for grants for ground equipment, coaching funding etc. Going forwards it is a key requirement for cricket clubs who want to be taken seriously.

Facilities
The club offers first rate changing rooms and practice facilities, with brand new practice net pitches laid for the 2012 season. Thanks to Groundsman Don Smith our square and playing area is kept to the very highest standard. 2007 saw the club open its brand new Clubhouse where a warm and friendly welcome goes out to everyone.
