Play It Forward: Every Game You Play Makes a Difference

June 2, 2026 - 9 days ago

Proud moment for Access Social Sport Inc. ❤️

As part of our Play It Forward initiative powered by Urban Rec, we recently donated $1,947 to Orange Sky Australia

For those who haven’t heard about Play It Forward, here’s how it works:

Every season, a portion of every Urban Rec Australia registration goes into a community fund. At the end of the season, our League Champions and our Fun Points Champions get to decide where that money goes by voting for a charity partner.

This season, the community chose Orange Sky Australia, an incredible organisation creating genuine connection and support for people doing it tough through free laundry, shower services, and conversations that matter.

Even better, we made the donation during Orange Sky’s Double the Difference Day, where donations were matched dollar for dollar. That turned our $1,947 donation into a total impact of $3,894.

The campaign itself raised over $1.2 million nationally. Absolutely massive effort from everyone involved.

One of the best parts of social sport is that it can be about far more than just what happens on the field. Community matters. Inclusion matters. Looking after each other matters.

Huge thanks to every Urban Rec member who unknowingly contributes to initiatives like this just by showing up each week for a hit around with their mates.

Turns out social sport can do some pretty cool stuff too….

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. 💳 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. 🏅 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. 👨‍👩‍👧‍👦 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 ❤💛
