Why not use this time for some good old R&R? Give your body and mind a break, put your feet up off the court and take some time for yourself. Remember, giving your body and mind a rest is equally important as keeping them active.
These are just a few ideas to keep you busy over the coming weeks. Don’t forget to share with us what you’re doing using the hashtag #NetballFamily and remember to stay safe and positive.
