We know women's sport has been badly affected during the Covid-19 pandemic, but netball is back and for the first time ever every match is being show live on Sky Sports, as Wakefield and London's Copperbox Arena are the two neutral venues for the entire season.

CEO, Director of Netball and Head Coach of London Pulse, the youngest franchise of the Vitality Netball SuperLeague, Sam Bird describes the return of the sport as 'imperative', why her and her brilliant team didn't shut up shop during the coronavirus crisis and reached out into the community with their 'Inspire Educate Train' initiative and why after receiving a free pair of socks (!) while playing for England, she wants to challenge the sport she loves to continue to change and develop for the better and good of women everywhere!
