We’re beyond excited to announce our Summer Season partnership with Pulse Climbing, the Hunter’s #1 bouldering destination and a hub for fun, movement, and community.

Pulse Climbing is all about inclusiveness, accessibility, and good vibes, welcoming climbers of all ages and abilities. Whether you’re a first-time climber or a seasoned boulderer, Pulse creates an environment where everyone can challenge themselves, have fun, and feel part of the crew. That’s why this partnership is such a perfect fit for Urban Rec and our members.

And the best part? Pulse has come on board with some epic perks for Urban Rec players this season.

🥇 League Champions Prize

Each league-winning team this season will be rewarded with a team discount for 8 people at Pulse Climbing Warners Bay. The prize will give each winning player entry for $19.  It’s the perfect way to celebrate your championship win with something a little different (and a lot of fun).

See you on the courts… or on the wall 😉

Play It Forward: Every Game You Play Makes a Difference

January 20, 2026 - 4 months ago

At Urban Rec, we love a good game. 🏐🏀🏉
But what really fires us up? Making a difference. 💙

That’s exactly why we created Play It Forward, our epic Australia-wide charity initiative that turns every single registration into a chance to do some real good in the world. Yep, just by playing sport, you’re already part of something bigger. 🙌

Each season, we spotlight four incredible charities. These aren’t just any causes, they’re organisations our members genuinely care about, from grassroots community support right here at home to health and environmental initiatives making waves on a bigger scale. 🌱🫶

And here’s the best part 👀
You decide where the donation goes.

At the end of the season, the winning Captains, both league champs and fun point legends, get the ultimate power move: choosing which of the four charities receives the donation. So every game, every laugh, every bit of banter actually counts for something meaningful. 🏆✨

🔄 How It Works

📝 Register a Team

Every registration automatically contributes a portion of the fee to the Play It Forward campaign. No extra steps, no add-ons. It’s built in and effortless.

🎽 Play Your Season

Get stuck in! Win games, rack up those fun points, bring the vibes, and lead your team with style 😎
All of it contributes to who earns the right to choose the charity at season’s end.

🏅 Winning Captains Choose the Charity

When the season wraps up, our league champions and top fun point Captains get to decide which charity receives the funds. Competitive? Yes. Meaningful? Even more so. Because it’s your team, your season, your choice.

💥 Impact Made

The chosen charity receives a donation raised from your season’s registrations, helping them continue their important work. Just like that, your games don’t just build skills, friendships, and legendary post-game chats, they create real-world impact.

❤️ More Than a Game

Play It Forward isn’t just a campaign. It’s proof that sport can be more than friendly competition, it can be a force for good. By putting the power in our members’ hands, we’re making the impact personal… and let’s be honest, winning feels even sweeter when it’s for a great cause 😉

We can’t wait to see what we can achieve together, season after season, right here in Newcastle and beyond 🌊⚡
