We're not back at training yet, but we will be back soon. We're waiting to hear the government's advice next week before we make a decision on a return date. It's been a long, tough wait but we're nearly there 💖 Kia kaha, kia manawanui #SONZ #SONZPositivity

Great read. Not sure how disability sport will look now post-COVID, but it is more important than ever to promote access to, and participation in sport and physical activity.
