Table Cricket
 

Table cricket is a game designed for children with severe disabilities.
Played on a table tennis table or a flat surface, the game enables severely disabled children to play the game of cricket with dignity.

The game is aimed at the under nineteen age group this 6 - a - side game
offers youngsters the chance to develop teamwork, sportsmanship and new skills in a fun and enjoyable environment.

We can offer your school a series of visits from one of our staff to
introduce the game or if your school already plays table cricket,
developing players existing skills could be an alternative.

Each year the opportunity is available for one school to
represent Nottinghamshire in the Table Cricket National Final at Lords.
