Opportunities for SEND pupils and schools

Somerset Cricket Foundation, with the Lords Taverners, are always striving to make cricket accessible to everyone. For many young people with a severe physical or learning disability, particularly wheelchair users, participating in cricket and other forms of sport is not possible. Through our bespoke SEN education offer we can provide the opportunities to play cricket.

Our aim is to enthuse young people within specialist SEN schools or mainstream schools working with SEN students to enjoy cricket and increase their confidence and raise awareness with hope they will join their local Super 1s Cricket Hub to continue their journey into social and/or competitive cricket outside of school.

What is table cricket?

The game is played on a table tennis table. Side panels and sliding fielders are placed around the table to create an arena, a small ball and ramp are used to bowl, and a wooden bat enables players to score runs, simulating a game of cricket.
