The Peterborough Royals American Football team, based at the Peterborough Lions Rugby Club in Bretton, England, is celebrating its 10th anniversary while fostering a supportive community for women. Founded in 2016, the team has grown to include 27 members from various backgrounds, emphasizing mental well-being and social connections. Members like Suzie Shamu, a social worker, and Leila Blake, an apprentice coach, highlight the empowering atmosphere where women can release stress and build friendships. The club trains every Saturday and competes in national leagues, promoting inclusivity by welcoming women of all shapes, sizes, and fitness levels. The team is self-funded, relying on community support and sponsorships to maintain equipment and cover costs. As they prepare for a home game on June 6, the Royals continue to seek new members and local business support to ensure the sport remains accessible.
