The Super 1s disability cricket programme gives young people with disabilities the chance to play regular cricket. By creating community cricket hubs where young people can receive weekly coaching, we give participants the chance to compete with their peers and enjoy the benefits of playing sport. The programme aims to increase levels of confidence, communication, leadership and independence for disabled young people.

Lancashire Cricket Foundation (LCF) currently have eight community hubs delivering cricketing opportunities across the North West. The Blackburn hub is open to ages 10 to 16, and is based at Blackburn Youth Zone. It occurs on Monday evenings between 4:30pm and 6pm. In addition to being able to participate in these sessions, participants also have the opportunity to represent their hub in competitions against the other hubs, and make new friends in doing so. There are also potential festivals, leadership awards and skills workshops available for Super 1's players as part of the programme, as well as progress onto the disability cricket county pathway for those that would like to pursue higher levels of the game representing Lancashire.

Blackburn participants will also become a member of the Youth Zone, with LCF paying for their £3 membership if they join for Super 1's!
