Girls In The Game

We’re getting more girls in the game. One league at a time

At Urban Rec, we’ve always been about more than just sport. We’re about creating spaces where everyone feels welcome, included, and keen to get involved, whether you’ve been playing your whole life or you’re just giving it a crack for the first time.

That’s why we’re launching Girls in the Game: an initiative designed to get more women participating in social sport and feeling confident stepping onto the field.

Why we’re doing this

We’ve taken a look across our leagues and noticed something pretty clear; in some sports, women are still underrepresented. And while Urban Rec is built on inclusivity, we know there can still be barriers that stop people from signing up.

Whether it’s cost, confidence, or just not having a team to join, we want to help remove those hurdles.
So we’re doing something about it.

What is Girls in the Game?

For the MONTH OF MAY, we’re offering 50% off female individual registrations in selected leagues where participation is lower.

The goal is simple:
πŸ‘‰ Make it easier to join
πŸ‘‰ Create more balanced leagues
πŸ‘‰ Build an even better vibe across the board

Because when more people feel comfortable jumping in, everyone wins.

Where can you play?

We’ve applied this offer to a range of sports where we’d love to see more women getting involved:

  • 🏐 Netball-7s
     
  • ⚽ Multisport 
     
  • πŸ“ Pickleball 

Each of these leagues are designed to be social, beginner-friendly, and all about good vibes! No pressure, no egos, just play.

No team? No worries.

One of the biggest barriers we hear is: “I don’t have a team.”
That’s exactly why we offer individual registrations. We’ll slot you into a team of legends who are in the same boat: there to meet people, have a run around, and enjoy the night.

What to expect

If you’ve never played Urban Rec before, here’s the deal:

🀝 Meet new people
πŸƒ‍♀️ Get active (without taking it too seriously)
🍻 Post-game hangs
πŸ˜„ Good vibes only

We’re proudly the no-dickheads club, and that means creating an environment where everyone feels comfortable showing up and getting involved.

Let’s get more girls in the game

This isn’t just a promo. It’s something we genuinely care about.
We want to see more women feeling confident to jump in, try something new, and be part of the Urban Rec community. And if reducing the cost helps remove that first barrier, then we’re all for it.
Spots are limited across these leagues, so if you’ve been thinking about it, this is your sign.

πŸ‘‰ Jump in, grab your discount, and get in the game:


Play more. Laugh more. Move more.

Play It Forward: Urban Rec’s New Way to Give Back in 2026

Play It Forward: Every Game You Play Makes a Difference

At Urban Rec, we love a good game. But we love making an impact even more. That’s why we created Play It Forward, our epic Australia-wide charity initiative that turns every single registration into a chance to do some good in the world.

Every season, we pick four incredible charities to feature. These aren’t just any charities, they’re causes that our members care about, from grassroots community support to big-picture health and environmental programs.

And here’s the kicker: it’s the members who decide who gets the donation. That’s right. At the end of the season, the winning Captains (both league and fun point champs) get to choose which of the four charities receives the funds. So every game you play is actually helping make a difference!!


How It Works
  1. πŸ’³ Register a Team 
    Every registration contributes a portion of the fee to the Play It Forward campaign. It’s automatic, you don’t need to do a thing.
     
  2. 🀸 Play Your Season 
    Keep the fun points rolling! Win games, have a laugh, and lead your team with style. All those efforts count toward who will pick the charity at the end of the season.
     
  3. πŸ… Winning Captains Choose the Charity
    When the season wraps up, the league champs and top fun points Captains get the ultimate power move: picking which of the four charities receives the donation. It’s fun, competitive, and meaningful because it’s your team, your season, and your choice.
     
  4. πŸ‘¨‍πŸ‘©‍πŸ‘§‍πŸ‘¦ Impact Made 
    The chosen charity receives a donation from your season’s registrations, helping them do what they do best. And just like that, your games don’t just build skills, friendships, and banter, they build real-world impact.

Play It Forward isn’t just a campaign. It’s proof that sport can be more than fun and friendly competition, it can be a force for good. By empowering our members to choose where the donations go, we’re making the impact personal. And let’s be honest, it makes winning even sweeter when you know it’s for a great cause.

We can’t wait to see what we can all achieve together, season after season β€πŸ’›
