Table Cricket - Edgbaston Foundation

Table cricket is an exciting, fast-paced version of the game that is played on a table tennis table and specially designed to give young people with a disability the chance to play.

Table cricket is an adapted version of cricket that is played on a table tennis table with teams of six taking it in turn to bowl or bat. The game has been specially developed by the British Sports Association for the Disabled Mini Games.

Please contact Nigel Perry-Ogden if you’re interested in organising Table Cricket lessons in your school.

What I really love about table cricket, is that it is a pan-disability sport, which means that individuals with mixed needs have the opportunity to represent their school.

How to Play

There are multiple scoring zones around the table, and just like in traditional cricket, fielders have to be particularly positioned to prevent runs or get the batter out. Teams of six take turns bowling or batting, with the bowler delivering the ball down a ramp. The batter scores by hitting the ball into the designated scoring zones.

Competitions

We invite all schools to participate in our County Table Cricket Competitions, which takes place annually in the winter and allows children to test their talents against other schools in a friendly and safe environment.

Winners of the competition have the opportunity to advance to the Lord’s Taverners Regional and National Table Cricket Finals, which will be held at Lord’s Cricket Ground, cricket’s home ground.
