Rediscover social sport
Haven’t played sport in a while? No worries, neither have I! So many of our players haven’t played since high school, and Just Play was their way back onto the court. Most of our leagues are social level, designed for people up for a good time and a run around - it’s an easy way to stay active and meet new people. Good people and good vibes only.
Opportunities to play as an adult just aren’t as easy to come by as they were in high school. This Harvard poll notes that a lot of adults begin to see sports as inconvenient and not fun like they did when they were younger - need I remind you that you probably need more fun in your life?
That’s why Just Play is designed to be as hassle free and easy to use as possible. It’s super daunting to think about donning a netball bib if the last time you played was 10 years ago, so we’re trying to eliminate as many obstacles as we can to get you back out there. Plus, everyone else is in the same boat, so you’re not going to be stepping onto the court surrounded by olympic-grade players. We want you to have fun, make some friends, and play a bit of the sport you love without any added pressure.
We spoke to a few of our players who haven’t played sport in a while about how joining a team helped them get back into the sport they love 👇
Evelyn says:
“I have been playing Netball since I was a kid, but after starting a new job I found myself without a team or a regular competition I could join. When I joined Just Play I found a team to play with and got to continue to play the game I love!
I have already recommended Just Play to several friends who are in a similar situation as me. They used to have a team in high school and are looking for a team while they navigate University and work. Just Play provides a really easy solution to place us with a team of other individuals so that we can continue to play the sport that we have always loved. “

Martin says:
“[Just Play] is a great way to meet new people, play a little sport, but mainly have a bit of fun. We don’t take things too seriously, and that has been our secret to longevity. Win, lose or draw we are all high tens at the end of the game!”

Tanya says:
“I had recently moved to Melbourne from NZ and was looking for a social activity to meet new people and keep fit. I hadn’t played netball since highschool so was worried my skill level wouldn’t be good enough.
I like that it’s easy to see each week what time my game is and who I’m playing with and that I’m able to interact with lots of new people 😊”
Keanu Says:
“I was looking for a basketball team in my area and Just Play helped connect me with the right people. I used to play a bit of basketball back in high school, I missed the game and the atmosphere so I reached out to Just Play and they took care of the rest!
I wasn’t sure if I would get along well with the other players but it’s a great vibe and everybody is there to have fun! My goal was to meet some new people, play a sport I really enjoy and get a bit of fitness in! I feel like I’ve improved a little since at my craft since I’ve started with the team and I’m working at becoming a better shooter.”
Sure, it’s scary starting a sport you haven’t played in years, but the physical, mental and social benefits speak for themselves. We’ve made it so simple to get back on the court, and simple acronym to go along with it:
