BRADLEY BRAVES SOFTBALL

PROGRAM OVERVIEW

Bradley University's softball program competes in the Missouri Valley Conference as one of the athletic anchors at the Peoria institution, which was established in 1897 and enrolls 5,217 students. The Braves operate from their home venue in Peoria, Illinois, where they pursue conference championships and NCAA tournament opportunities each spring season. With their membership in a competitive MVC conference, Bradley softball participates in one of the nation's established collegiate athletic conferences that draws talent from across the Midwest and produces players who advance to professional competition.

The program serves as part of Bradley University's broader athletic portfolio, offering student-athletes the opportunity to compete at the Division I level while balancing academic responsibilities within the university's enrollment of just over 5,200 undergraduates. Peoria's location in central Illinois provides the Braves with a regional recruiting base and established community support for their spring season competitions. The softball team's representation of a university founded nearly 130 years ago reflects Bradley's commitment to maintaining competitive athletic programs alongside its academic mission.
