Yarrawonga trying to stay united despite lockdown and four week break

The Pigeons' last match was May 8, followed by two weeks off.

With Victoria's most recent lockdown putting the league on pause for two weeks, the Pigeons are facing four rounds off in the middle of the season for the first time.

As most players reside south of the border, coach Hannah Symes admitted they've had to get creative.

"This week we're doing a bit of a team bonding challenge," she said.

"We have to run a certain distance and do some exercises.

"It's just to keep us moving and accountable.

"We're very mindful of NSW teams that are able to train and be together, so we're looking at every way possible to keep that cohesion."

Albury is also facing four weeks away from the court after playing in the season opener.

However, as a team north of the border, the Tigers will be able to maintain training through the break.
