Visually Impaired

Visually impaired (VI) cricket launched at HHTCC in 2024, with the support of Hertfordshire Cricket and Blind Cricket England and Wales, who provided us with specialist equipment.  It is part of our work as a Disability Champion Club.  The sessions are for all ages and abilities.  Our players range from those who are completely new to cricket, to one player who has represented England in VI cricket.  Information on the format of the game is available here.

Our indoor winter sessions in 2025 run from January to March at two schools in Hemel Hempstead, with full details of times and locations on the British Blind Sport website. Summer sessions will run outdoors at HHTCC on a Saturday morning from April to August and we will post full details on the British Blind Sport website.  You can also listen to an interview with a coach and a player on RNIB Radio here.

In 2025, we hope to have enough players to begin playing matches against teams from other areas.  With the agreement of Hertfordshire Cricket we will be playing as ‘Hertfordshire Comets‘.
