In December 2021 Max Wymer was nominated as a finalist for the Parafed Auckland Rookie of the Year 2021. Max had only been involved with Parafed Auckland since April 2021 when it was suggested he participate in the Halberg Games. He gave Boccia a go for the first time during the Halberg Games and the rest is history! 

Due to Covid, Parafed Auckland had to delay their awards ceremony but finally, on the 10th of April 2022, they were able to announce the winners and present the awards at their annual awards dinner. 

Max was announced the Rookie of the Year for 2021. The ISC is so incredibly proud of the hard work Max has put into his Boccia to achieve all he has in such a short amount of time. We look forward to watching you work towards your dream of representing New Zealand one day. Congratulations Max Wymer.
