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! 👋

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.

DANNY SKIDMORE – GENERAL MANAGER

If you’ve played in an Urban Rec league anytime in the last decade, you’ve probably crossed paths with Danny or at least felt the ripple of his energy. Hailing from England, Danny joined Urban Rec in 2016 as an Event Host and has since levelled up to GM, now steering the ship across Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane and Perth.

A full blown Aston Villa tragic and die hard Roosters supporter, Danny froths anything sport related. He lives for a cracking vibe, a stacked sideline and a well earned post game bevvy. He’s all about creating events that feel bigger than the game itself. The recipe is simple. Big heart, big energy, and a rock solid belief that sport is for everyone.
