MyRounders Special Recognition Awards 2025

We’re beyond excited to share that MyCommunity Rounders has received its first-ever funding through the UK Shared Prosperity Fund – Neath Port Talbot Community Prosperity Fund to launch a truly transformative initiative: Inclusive Youth Rounders. This project is more than sport — it’s about giving young people a place to belong. A place to feel safe, seen, and supported. A place where laughter, teamwork, and confidence grow with every swing of the bat. From August to November 2025, we’ll be offering free inclusive rounders coaching sessions for young people who need it most: Young Carers who carry responsibilities far beyond their years LGBTQI+ Youth seeking safe spaces to express and connect Youth with Speech and Language Needs building confidence through play Young People in Social Care who deserve joy, friendship, and opportunity These sessions will be led by compassionate coaches and supported by volunteers who believe in the power of sport to change lives. We’re deeply grateful to Neath Port Talbot Council’s Families First Team for supporting us, and to the UK Shared Prosperity Fund for believing in our vision. Together, we’re creating something special — a space where every young person feels they matter. This is just the beginning. We’re committed to expanding inclusive rounders programmes across South Wales — using sport to bring people together, promote wellbeing, and build communities where everyone feels welcome. Stay tuned for updates, stories from the sessions, and details about our final tournament celebration! Click here to check out our 'MyCommunity Rounders' Instagram page!

What an unforgettable night we had at our 'No Ball, Ball – Special Recognition Awards Evening, 2025!' It was a fantastic celebration of the amazing individuals and teams who make MyRounders what it is, a vibrant, passionate, and growing community. ✨ Click here to watch our highlights video! ✨ From the moment the doors opened, the atmosphere was buzzing. We laughed, we danced, we shed a few tears – and most importantly, we celebrated the people who give so much of themselves to the game we all love. 🌟 Recognising Remarkable People, Players & Teams We were proud to honour members of our community who go the extra mile – whether that's League Coordinating, Umpiring, leading training sessions in their area, championing the sport within their teams, or shouting loudly about MyRounders at every opportunity. It was a night to spotlight the people who have found their passion in Rounders and help grow the game from the ground up. We also gave some special awards to teams that stand out for their fair- play on the pitch, and for their wicked sense of humour on social media. There were some incredible, emotional moments – including hearing from Rebecca of the 'Rhondda Rookies' rounders team, who shared her powerful personal journey. The surprise, pride, and joy on so many faces reminded us all just how much rounders means to so many. 🎶 Music, Magic & Dance Moves A huge thank you to the brilliant band The Scarletons, whose amazing set (and sensational sax player!) kept the dance floor packed until the very end. Their energy was electric and set the perfect tone for a night of celebration. 🎤 Umpire Choir Returns Our iconic Umpire Choir made another fantastic appearance, delivering a medley of songs and dance routines that once again showcased the talent and creativity that lives within our MyRounders family. The medley ended w ith a surprise performance by the Gaffa and Johno, our very own version of Ant and Dec – whose hilarious dance routine had everyone in stitches. Truly unforgettable! 🏏 Select XII Squad Trials We were also proud to invite 16 players from across Wales to trial for our 'Select XII' squad. A huge congratulations to every single one of you, we can’t wait to see what’s next for our team! A massive THANK YOU to everyone who came, celebrated, danced, shared stories, and made memories with us. You made the evening truly special!
