Join Chris Pennell’s Diabetes Rugby Academy

The Warriors Community Foundation will be launching a brand new initiative next week, which will be led by England international Chris Pennell.

Chris Pennell’s Diabetes Rugby Academy will be coming to Sixways on Tuesday 28 November.

So if you have diabetes and you’re keen to play some touch rugby, come and join Chris and our specialist coaches.

We offer a safe and fun environment where you can run about, learn about the benefits of sport and share tips on diabetes.

Pennell said: “I was diagnosed with diabetes during the early stages of my career and the condition hasn’t held me back at all.

“With the right knowledge and support, people with diabetes can manage the condition to ensure they can do all the things that people without diabetes can do.

“I’m really excited about meeting other people with diabetes and enjoying a game of rugby while we share our experiences of living an active life through the right exercise and nutrition.”

Sessions are free to attend and take place in the High Performance Centre at Sixways every Tuesday before Christmas between 4.15pm and 5.15pm.
