Super 1s
Giving young people with a disability aged 12-25 the chance to play regular cricket while improving confidence and independence.
Super 1s gives young people with a disability aged 12-25 the chance to play regular, competitive cricket.
By creating community cricket hubs where young people can receive coaching, we give participants the chance to compete against their peers and enjoy the benefits of playing sport.
The programme is funded by the Lord’s Taverners Charity who empower young people through cricket.
