Play Sports Leagues’ overarching mission has always been to empower women by giving them access to any sport they enjoy. Rounders is a much-loved sport from everyone’s childhood and school days, but it doesn’t have to stay in the past! There are so many benefits of playing rounders as an adult…
Our Play Netball, Play 5-a-Side and Play Hockey leagues were always letting us know that they were keen for more sport, so we asked them what they’d like to see us do next! After asking our players and receiving resounding responses, we knew that the time was right, and Play Rounders was born in 2023!
By adding Rounders to our available leagues, Play Sports Leagues reaffirms our commitment to providing inclusive and welcoming spaces where women of all skill levels can come together to play, compete, have fun and enjoy the benefits of playing rounders as an adult!
It doesn’t matter how good you are!
Have you felt hesitant to join a sports league because you haven’t played since school, or don’t know enough people to create a full team? Play Rounders welcome women of all ages and abilities with open arms, whether you are signing up as an individual, a whole team, or a group of friends! If you’re a rounders-pro or a complete novice, there’s a place for you in our leagues. With various divisions to suit different skill levels, you’ll find yourself matched against teams of similar ability, ensuring fun and fair gameplay for everyone. Joining a women’s rounders league as an adult offers so many benefits that go beyond the field – from making new friendships to stepping out of your comfort zone and trying something new.
Fun first, competition second.
While winning is everyone’s goal, we believe that the heart of our leagues lies in the joy of playing and the bonds formed along the way. Our leagues are not just about competition; they’re about creating memorable experiences with your teammates! Whether you’re celebrating a victory or commiserating a defeat, the bonds formed on the rounders field are what you take away after your game. Play Rounders prioritises fun and camaraderie over cutthroat competition. Our friendly umpires and match-night coordinators are dedicated to creating a supportive environment where every player should hope to feel valued and encouraged. So, whether you’re scoring points or just enjoying the game, you’re guaranteed a memorable experience every time you step onto the field and feel the benefits of playing rounders with your friends!
Keeping it simple!
Gone are the days of sourcing your own umpires & equipment, or rounding up players – we’ve got it all covered. Play Rounders take care of the logistics so you can focus on what really matters: playing the game you love. From providing equipment to facilitating substitutions, our team ensures that everything runs smoothly from start to finish. Simply show up and let us handle the rest.
Play Rounders offers much more than just weekly matches. Throughout the year, we host a variety of competitions, tournaments, and awards for teams and match-officials! From prizes to bragging rights, there’s always something exciting happening. Stay connected with us on Facebook and Instagram to keep up with the latest news and events!
Keeping Fit & Healthy.
In today’s fast-paced world, finding time for exercise can be a challenge. However, joining a social league can provide the perfect solution – a fun and engaging way to stay active and being social all while enjoying the great outdoors. Rounders offers a full-body workout that improves cardiovascular health, strength, and coordination whilst having fun with your teammates. If you don’t enjoy going to the gym, (or even if you do), playing a team sport is hugely beneficial to your physical and mental health.
Having Time for Yourself.
We know that your everyday life is busy, but it’s so important to carve out time for yourself and prioritise self-care. Joining Play Rounders provides the perfect opportunity to do just that – a chance to unwind, de-stress, and focus on your own well-being. Rounders offers a welcome escape from the pressures of work and home responsibilities by giving you space to zone out for 40 minutes and forget about all of life’s stresses!
Getting Out of Your Comfort Zone
Life begins at the end of your comfort zone! Both signing up to a social league and stepping onto the sports field for the first time requires courage, determination, and a willingness to push your limits. If you’re trying rounders for the first time or reigniting a childhood passion, every game is an opportunity to learn, grow, and discover the thrill of sportsmanship. So why wait? Step out of your comfort zone, embrace the unknown, and challenge yourself to do something new!
Solo Players Welcome.
Don’t have a team? No problem! Unlike traditional leagues that require team registrations, Play Rounders welcomes individual players with open arms. In fact, over 80% of our players initially sign up alone and find themselves embraced by a brand new team of like-minded women. So, if you’re flying solo, don’t let that hold you back! One of the greatest joys of joining a women’s rounders league is the opportunity to forge meaningful friendships with other women. Whether you’re a seasoned player or a complete beginner, you’ll find yourself surrounded by a supportive community of women who share your passion for sports. From teammates to opponents, every game is an opportunity to connect with new people and expand your social circle.
Excitement for the launch of Play Rounders has been bubbling since 2023 and we can’t wait for more women across the UK to join in the fun and feel the benefits of playing rounders as an adult!
