Unlocking Potential Through Cricket for Young People with Disabilities
The Surrey Cricket Foundation is proud to partner with Lord’s Taverners to deliver the incredible Super 1s programme across Surrey. Super 1s provides young people aged 8-25 with physical and/or learning disabilities the chance to play regular, competitive cricket in a fun, inclusive, and supportive environment – all completely FREE!

Super 1s is about so much more than just hitting a ball. It’s about empowering young people to:

Build Friendships: Connect with peers, share experiences, and develop a strong sense of belonging.
-
Develop Life Skills: Improve communication, teamwork, independence, and leadership qualities.
-
Enhance Well-being: Get active, improve physical and mental health, and combat loneliness.
-
Realise Potential: Experience the joy of competitive sport and gain a real sense of achievement.

Our Super 1s hubs offer weekly sessions packed with:
-
Expert Coaching: Delivered by qualified coaches, ensuring everyone can participate and develop their skills, regardless of ability.
-
Softball Cricket: Fun and accessible sessions tailored to a range of disabilities.
-
Friendly Competitions: Opportunities to compete against other Super 1s hubs in a safe and informal setting.
