Support Cornwall Super 9'S Disability Cricket Team

About us

Formed in 1996, Cornwall Cricket Board provides opportunities for adults and children, aged 5 and up, of all abilities to take part in Cricket across Cornwall. We want to grow cricket in the County by providing more opportunities for people to take part in the sport enabling them to discover and share their passion for cricket.

Why are we crowdfunding?

Our vision is to have the first ever Cornwall Disability Cricket Team! Cornwall Cricket Board Disability Cricket already delivers school engagement sessions and accessible Lords Taverners Super 1’s Cricket & Table Cricket Programmes across Cornwall. We are also growing the number of Disability Cricket Champion Hubs (clubs) in Cornwall but we want to go a step further and have a county team.

Opening up cricket to more people with disabilities, including at a competitive level, can help with building skills and confidence and improving social networks. People come to our sessions to learn cricket but to also have fun, meet new people and socially engage. 

We want to provide those that already take part in our Disability Cricket with the opportunity to be able to grow those skills further by joining our Super 9’s County Representative Team and competing across the South West. 

People with disabilities are more likely to be out of work and on a low income which can lead to feelings of isolation. We are crowdfunding to be able to cover the costs of expenses such as playing kit, bats, pads, venue hire and travel costs. We want to absorb as much of the cost as possible so even those on low income can participate. 

COVID 19

Those with disabilities were amongst the hardest hit groups during the pandemic, many not able to leave their homes for months. Playing sports such as cricket can help with physical health and well being, reduce stress and anxiety and aid in post pandemic recovery.

How we’ll spend the money raised

Most of our young people have come up from super 1s and never played hard ball competitive cricket before . Therefore we would like to limit the expense to parents and carers to enable all young people to have the correct equipment to play .

Due to the difference in players abilities and disabilities we need a lot of different cricket protection, we are also looking to fund travel expenses to places like Somerset and Devon for matches as well as the cost of venue hire at home and away. 

Community impact

Creating a disability team for Cornwall will not only bring more awareness of Cricket but also to sport, helping to encourage inclusion in sport across the county.  

Being part of a team brings with it a sense of community that extends beyond the players to family and friends.
