Lyndal
"Every day in Player services is different. We help players find what court they’re practicing on. We get them water and balls. It might be cuddling koalas at the zoo, getting them towels, ordering them dinner, whatever they need.
I really enjoy Player services. I recommend everyone to give it a go."
