Meet The Team
These are the legends working behind the scenes to make your Urban Rec experience top-tier. From scheduling games and wrangling venues, to answering your DMs and hyping up your league night — this crew is the heartbeat of everything we do.
They don’t wear capes (most of the time), but they’re the reason your sport is social, seamless, and seriously fun. Say g’day next time you see them on the sidelines! 👋
CHRIS BIEN, GENERAL MANAGER, CO-FOUNDER, PERTH
Semi-pro fun-haver, full-time recreational ringleader. Chris shows up for the good times, friendly competition, and maybe the post-game snacks. While known to sprint only when absolutely necessary, he brings the vibes, the occasional clutch play, and enough enthusiasm to make up for any lack of skill. Brings more energy than accuracy, but it works out. Sometimes.
MADELEINE WILKIE, MANAGING DIRECTOR
Madeleine kicked off Urban Rec in Sydney back in 2012 after spotting a gap between competitive sport and casual social fun. Inspired by her time in Vancouver, she brought the concept down under — and hasn’t looked back. Fast forward to today, she’s grown Urban Rec into a national movement with 9 locations across Australia, all flying the flag for fun, inclusive, and low-pressure sport.
Not an elite athlete (she’ll be the first to tell you), but a big believer in the power of sport to build mateship, boost confidence, and bring people together. Changing the way Aussies play sport? She’s already doing it.
