Don’t Miss Your Spot for Summer!

Hey Spring Captains! We know you’ve loved smashing goals, having laughs, and bringing that team spirit to the field all season long. Now, we’ve got something special to say “thanks” and help you stay in the game—enter the Priority Registration Period for Summer 2024! 🥳

This exclusive window is all about giving YOU, our amazing Spring teams, the first chance to lock in your spot for our Summer leagues before the season opens to the public and sells out. So if you want to keep the good times rolling under the sun this summer, pay close attention because you’ll have a limited-time VIP pass to secure your team’s place!

Here’s How it Works:

1. Captain’s Private Link 🔗
   Your team captain will receive a special registration link sent straight to their inbox on Thursday, November 28th, in the morning. If you are changing captains for Summer 2025, we need to know NOW!

2. When to Register 📅
   The link will not be active until Friday, November 29th, at 6:00 pm sharp. This means you’ve got to be ready to click, type, and lock in that spot as soon as registration opens.

3. Epic Prizes for Fast Fingers ⏱️

   • First Team to Register at 6pm: The very first team to submit their registration AND PAY IN FULL will win their entire team fee back! That’s right—win, play, and save.

Why Priority Registration is Key:

We’re all about keeping it fun and fair, and giving our current teams priority is one of the ways we make sure our regulars have the best shot at a spot each season. Summer is a peak season and our leagues sell out fast—so having access to early registration means:

• Guaranteed Game Time: Skip the stress of hoping for a last-minute slot.
• VIP Perks: Get exclusive access to epic prizes.
• Your Team, Your Turf: Keep your team together and avoid the scramble.

Priority Registration Policy

• Timing is Everything: You’ll need to register starting at 6:00 pm on the dot on Friday 29^th November to secure your spot and compete for that cash-back prize.

How You Can Be Involved

January 15, 2024 - 11 months ago

Access to mental health resources remains a significant hurdle for many young Australians. The stigma surrounding mental health issues can deter people from seeking help, perpetuating a cycle of suffering in silence. This year, we’re ‘changing the game’.

Urban Rec is calling our community to come together in 2024 to support our cause. Here are some ways to help us, “Change The Game”. 

ATTEND ONE OF OUR FREE MENTAL HEALTH EDUCATION SESSIONS

Each session covers the signs and symptoms of mental ill health, how to start the conversation and how to support an individual going through a mental health challenge. The next session has free tickets available now. 

Donate $50 to get a kid or an adult into ORGANISED sport

Sport is a recreational privilege, we know that. You can donate $50 which will go directly to kids or adults that do not have the money to pay for the access. Urban Rec have started the year by adding 20 vouchers for anyone who needs them. 

Attend one of our charity Tournaments

The next one is happening in Wollongong on Feb 11, The Superbowl Flag Gridiron Tournament. All the proceeds from these Charity Events are donated to OTLR. Plus, you get an amazing day out, in the sun, playing sport!

Get Involved in Mates In March (9k’s in 9 days)

This March we are partnering with OTLR for their initiative, Mates In March. We lose 9 people to suicide each month, this March, walk or run 9 kms for any 9 days during the month. Then, spread the word on social media. 

BUY MERCH FROM OUR ASSOCIATION

All the merch available within our shop goes directly to our Association, raising funds for partner charities or making sport accessible to other minorities.
