Top 5 Reasons

To Join A Team

Play to have fun and make new friends. Being social and getting exercise improves overall quality of life and makes you a better person (Please disregard if you're already perfect).

Play to stay active and physically fit all the while enjoying it. Urban Rec leagues are not like running on a treadmill. You aren't a hamster but wouldn't it be fun to drink out of an upside-down watering system.

Play because your professional career didn't take off and you still have competitive streak that needs to be satisfied.

(Please note: skill levels are taken into consideration so all the hyperactive jocks / jockettes are in their own league.)

Play because science says it will make you happy. Exercise makes your body release endorphins. Endorphins reduce pain and trigger positive feelings!

Play because you love the game. Speaking of love, maybe you'll meet your next significant other?

(Disclaimer: Urban Rec takes no responsibility for any romantic connections made as a result of joining a team. We aren't love gurus)

Elementary School Teacher

Joining Urban Rec was one of the best life choices I’ve ever made. Not only has it reduced my Netflix intake, I’ve met a lot of great people who also love to stay active and more importantly, have a good time! If you’re looking for a league that offers a healthy dose of friendly competition or if you’re more the chill type and just want to play for kicks, Urban Rec has it all. See you on the court!

UBC Admissions Office

I’ve been a participant and an Event Coordinator with Urban Rec for over 8 years. I’ve met amazing new people and worked with a dynamic team of volunteers. As an Event Coordinator, it’s exciting to meet the new and returning participants each season. Being the main point of contact for my leagues, I provide a warm smile to greet the teams and get them excited to play each night. It’s great to watch teams, friendships, and even relationships grow.

I’ve played my favourite sports, learned new ones, attended lots of fun parties, and made life-long friends. Where else can you meet young, fit, like-minded people? Urban Rec is more than just sports – it’s a lifestyle defining what’s it’s like to live and play in Vancouver!

Home Business Owners

Two years ago, we started a home business together as a couple. After a lot of hard work, the business is doing great and we're finally able to take some time for ourselves. We joined Urban Rec to get back into shape and maybe meet some new friends. We were blown away by the amount of amazing people we've met and how quickly rec sports (particularly softball) has become part of our weekly lifestyle.

Get Social

Connect. Play. Live.

Our Social League is just like any one of our sports leagues. It encourages interaction, fun, and social activity! But instead of scoring goals/points/downs you get to go enjoy spending time with your team off the playing field. Whether it’s a night out at a local establishment, receiving discounts on food and drink, or doing a bike tour on the local trails, we guarantee you’ll have a good time. Studies show that the more you know your team, the better the chances of you working together effectively and winning!

Stay tuned for upcoming events and opportunities to get social!
