New to town? Make mates fast through social sports.

Moving to a new city in Australia can be a real adventure—new places to explore, new cafes to try, and new beaches to hit up. But let’s be honest, it can also feel pretty lonely when you don’t know anyone yet. Making new friends as an adult isn’t always a walk in the park—unless you’ve got the right game plan. That’s where social sports come in.

Why Social Sports Work:

It’s not just about scoring goals or winning matches; it’s about having a laugh, sharing a post-game drink, and building connections. Whether you’re having a crack at a casual game of basketball, smashing a volleyball, giving netball a go, or scoring goals on the soccer field - being part of a team gives you an instant crew to hang out with. Plus, nothing beats the bonding that happens when you’re all celebrating a win or laughing off a loss together.

How Just Play Makes It Easy:

Just Play takes all the hassle out of joining a team. You don’t need to round up your mates or worry about organising a group—just sign up, rock up, and play. We’ll handle the rest, matching you with a team that fits your skill level and schedule. You can join solo, or if you’ve got a mate in the same boat, bring them along for double the fun. And don’t stress if you’re not a pro—it’s all about having a good time and meeting people.

Why It’s Perfect for Aussies on the Move:

Whether you’ve moved to Melbourne for work, relocated to Sydney for uni, or just landed in Brisbane for a sea change, Just Play is the perfect way to meet new mates. Aussies love their sport, and getting involved in a local comp is one of the easiest ways to feel like part of the community. Plus, it’s a great way to stay active, blow off some steam after a long day, and maybe even discover a new favourite sport.

So, if you’re new in town and keen to meet people, why not give Just Play a crack? You’ll make mates, stay fit, and have a heap of fun along the way. Who knows? Your future best friend might be waiting on the field.
