Manly Warringah Sea Eagles were proud to host our friends from Ability Options at Narrabeen recently.
As part of the annual Ability Options Day, participants came together to watch the Sea Eagles NRL side train under Coach Trent Barrett as well as taking part in some fun drills session run by the NRL Development team.
Following training, the Sea Eagles players enjoyed a lunch with the guests from Ability Options.
