Cricket for the whole Basel region

A1 Sports Club brings together players from Basel-Stadt, Basel-Landschaft, Aargau, Zurich and as far as St. Gallen. Home is Chöpfli Athletic Field in Hofstetten-Flüh, a short drive from the city.

As a full member of Cricket Switzerland, we play at every level that matters. Our men compete in the national 40-over and T20 leagues. Our women play in the Cricket Switzerland Women’s League and its indoor league. A1 Girls gives young players in the region a team of their own.

Your questions, answered

Do I need to have played cricket before?

It depends on the team.

Women and girls: no experience needed. Our coaches welcome players of every level, including complete beginners, and someone will look after you from your very first session.

Men: our men’s squad is for experienced players with a solid cricket background, ready to compete in league matches.

Where can I play cricket in Basel?

We train in Basel (Primarschule Volta and St. Jakobshalle), Birsfelden, Allschwil (Bachgraben) and Hofstetten-Flüh, and play home matches at Chöpfli Athletic Field in Hofstetten-Flüh, about 15 minutes from Basel city centre.

Yes. A1 Women play in the Cricket Switzerland Women’s League and its indoor league, and A1 Girls is a team for girls who are starting out or already playing. Both welcome complete beginners; several of our players picked up a bat for the first time at A1.
