Play blind cricket in Tasmania.

Cricket is one of Australia’s favourite sports. Blind cricket enables players who are blind or have low vision to get involved in a cricket program specifically designed for them.

All other Australian states already have a thriving blind cricket community. We want to develop the sport in Tasmania to give more people a chance to play.

How it works

Whether you want to play competitively, or just for fun, there is an option for you. We offer both participation and representative pathways to all players.

Game Days

A game day session is an opportunity for all people who are blind or have low vision, as well as their support workers, family and friends, to learn what blind cricket is all about. Come along, meet new people, learn new skills and have some fun!

Contact us for a seat on the BCT bus to some events, or simply ask questions about what the day involves.
