Choose the format that works best for your pupils

Table Cricket is an indoor, adapted version of cricket that is particularly suitable for young people with physical and learning disabilities. It gives pupils the chance to take part in a team sport, develop communication and decision-making skills, and enjoy meaningful competition in an accessible setting.

Soft ball Cricket can be delivered indoors or outdoors and provides an active, fun and inclusive introduction to cricket. Sessions help pupils develop movement skills, confidence, teamwork and game understanding in a safe and supportive environment.

Schools can choose one format or combine both to create a programme that best suits their pupils, timetable and facilities.

Opportunities beyond the school day

Pupils who enjoy the sessions can be signposted to local Super 1s Clubs, giving them the opportunity to continue playing cricket, meet new people and build confidence in a welcoming community setting. These sessions are also free of charge.

Schools may also have the chance to take part in Table Cricket and Softball Cricket competitions delivered across the county during the academic year, offering pupils an exciting opportunity to represent their school in an inclusive environment.
