Julie & Amy chat all things MyRounders!
Back in December 2024, our very own CEO Julie and Social Media Manager Amy were invited to join the brilliant Riff Room Podcast in Port Talbot, and what a chat it was! We sat down with two cracking lads Scott and Shaun, who were genuinely curious (and hilarious!) about all things MyRounders.
From the early days of launching in 2022 to the exciting growth across Wales, with 26 leagues and over 6,000 registered players (December, 2024) —they asked us some fantastic questions. One of the hosts, proudly wearing a 'Bryn it On' cap (his girlfriend’s team), had a personal connection to the positive impact rounders has had on women in the community. We laughed about some of the cheeky team names and had a heartfelt discussion about how hard it is to make new friends as adults. But that’s where social rounders shines - bringing people from all walks of life together through fun, friendship, and a shared love of the game. Teams have gone from strangers to travel buddies, from teammates to real life support systems. It’s a beautiful thing to witness, and we're so grateful for platforms like 'Riff Room Podcast' that help share our story.

to tune in. We cover some seriously funny topics (you’ll definitely get a laugh!), but also dive into the heart of what MyRounders is really about - connection, community, and the happiness of playing a sport. Since that chat back in December, we’ve grown even more, now with over 8,000 registered players across Wales!
While most take part in our vibrant mixed leagues, something we’re especially proud of is the rise of our women’s only leagues. These incredible spaces bring together women of all ages and abilities to play, support each other, and just have fun every single week. It’s honestly amazing to see, and we can’t wait for what’s next.

We’re excited to share that MyRounders has been featured by the National Institute for Sport & Health (NISH) , recognising our commitment to making sport social, simple and inclusive for adults across Wales. 'MyRounders was created to offer fun, low-pressure opportunities for people aged 16+ to be active. With mixed and women’s leagues running in Swansea and beyond, we welcome players of all backgrounds, abilities and fitness levels — with a strong focus on enjoyment, connection and community. Since launching in 2022, the impact has been remarkable. Participants tell us they’ve gained confidence, made new friends and rediscovered their enthusiasm for physical activity. For many, it’s not just about the game — it’s about belonging. One challenge we continue to tackle is changing perceptions of sport. Many adults associate sport with competition or past experiences at school. MyRounders aims to show that activity can be relaxed, welcoming and inclusive, and that taking the first step is the hardest part. Our membership with NISH has been invaluable in supporting this mission. Through the network, we’ve connected with partners who share our vision for accessible movement and community wellbeing. We’re now exploring how collaboration with NISH can help us better understand and demonstrate the wellbeing benefits of social sport. As Julie says: “A simple, social game can make a huge difference to wellbeing and inclusion, and we’re excited to continue growing that impact with support from NISH.” With over 370 teams across 38 leagues in Wales, MyRounders continues to grow — and we’re excited for what comes next. Anyone can get involved. Teams can register online , and individuals can sign up to be matched with local groups. All equipment is provided — keeping everything simple, social and inclusive.'
