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
- 💳 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.
- 🤸 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.
- 🏅 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.
- 👨👩👧👦 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 ❤💛
