1st XV player Jake Parkinson and his friend Sebastian Ma’har are heading to Uganda and Tanzania this summer to teach rugby to communities that may never have played the game.

From a spark to a movement… introducing Sports Impact International
In 2022, two friends packed bags of tennis racquets and a whole lot of hope — and brought the game to kids in six schools across East Africa. For most, it was the first time they’d ever held a tennis ball. The joy, Unforgettable. The impact, Life-changing.
Now, we’re going back.
New name. Bigger mission. Same heart.
This time, we’re bringing rugby — not just the game, but the values it teaches: teamwork, resilience, respect. We’ll be coaching, training teachers, building goalposts, and creating safe, empowering spaces for young people to thrive in Uganda and Tanzania.
Every ball, every session, every smile — it all matters. And you can be part of it.
