Why Rounders is Bringing People Together

September 12, 2023

In a world where digital screens often dominate our leisure time, there's a growing need for activities that bring people together in a fun and social way. Enter Rounders, a classic British sport that's experiencing a resurgence, thanks to its ability to foster camaraderie and create lasting memories. MyRounders, a brand new SOCIAL ROUNDERS league company in South Wales, is at the forefront of this revival, offering a unique opportunity for people to come together, play, and connect. In this blog, we'll explore why Rounders is becoming the go-to activity for social interaction and how MyRounders is making it accessible to all.

The Joy of Rounders

Rounders is a sport that encapsulates the spirit of friendly competition and teamwork. It's a game that anyone can pick up, regardless of their skill level or age. The simplicity of the game, with its basic rules and minimal equipment, makes it incredibly accessible to all. Whether you're a seasoned athlete or a complete beginner, Rounders welcomes you with open arms.

Building Friendships and Communities

One of the most significant reasons why Rounders is gaining popularity is its ability to build friendships and communities. When you step onto the Rounders field, you're not just playing a game; you're forging connections with others who share your passion for fun and sport. MyRounders understands the importance of community-building and aims to create a supportive and inclusive environment for players of all backgrounds.

The MyRounders Experience

MyRounders, the pioneers of social Rounders leagues in South Wales, are dedicated to providing an exceptional experience for their participants. Their commitment to bringing people together is evident in their league offerings, including the recently launched womens only and mens only leagues; with plans to expand to Bridgend, Llanelli, various Swansea areas, Barry, and Cardiff, MyRounders is set to make Rounders accessible to even more communities.

Staying Informed and Getting Involved

MyRounders is not just about playing the game; it's about creating a Rounders community that thrives. To stay in the loop and be among the first to know about league launches and events, interested individuals can sign up for MyRounders' email subscriptions. This way, you'll never miss an opportunity to connect with fellow Rounders enthusiasts and join in on the fun.

Adult Taster Sessions

For those who have never played Rounders before or are a bit rusty, MyRounders is offering Adult Taster sessions throughout the year. These sessions are designed to introduce newcomers to the game, provide a taste of the Rounders experience, and encourage more people to start playing. It's a fantastic opportunity to step out of your comfort zone and try something new while having a blast.

Coaching Workshops and Umpiring Courses

MyRounders goes the extra mile in promoting Rounders as a social and engaging activity. They offer coaching workshops and umpiring courses, ensuring that players have access to quality training and resources to enhance their Rounders skills. These initiatives not only improve gameplay but also strengthen the sense of community within the league.


In conclusion, Rounders is more than just a sport; it's a social catalyst that brings people together, promotes inclusivity, and fosters a sense of belonging. MyRounders, with its innovative approach to social Rounders leagues, is making this wonderful game accessible to South Wales communities, creating opportunities for friendships, fun, and physical activity. So, if you're looking for a way to connect with others, stay active, and have a great time, consider joining the MyRounders community.

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 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. If you’d like to watch our full interview, just click here 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. MyRounders

We’re thrilled to announce that our incredible founder, Julie, has been nominated for the 2025 Pinc List – a celebration of the most influential LGBTQ+ people in Wales! Now in its tenth year, the Pinc List – curated with the support of Pride Cymru – shines a light on individuals who are making a powerful difference across Welsh communities. From national campaigners to local changemakers, it’s a who's who of trailblazers and leaders, and we’re so proud to see Julie recognised among them. Championing Inclusion Through Sport Julie launched MyRounders with a clear mission: to build a fun, social, and welcoming environment where LGBTQ+ adults can feel free to play, belong, and connect. What began as a grassroots idea has quickly grown into one of Wales’ most exciting community sport movements. Over the past year alone, MyRounders has grown from 6,000 to over 8,000 registered players, with leagues expanding across Swansea, Cardiff, Barry, Bridgend, and beyond. “At its heart, MyRounders is all about community,” says Julie. “Sport hasn’t always been inclusive for LGBTQ+ people, but we’re changing that – one game at a time.” From training inclusive umpires, to launching confidence and building coaching clinics, Julie and the MyRounders team are redefining what sport can look like when diversity and representation lead the way. Wales Steps Forward Julie’s nomination comes at a time of huge progress for LGBTQ+ visibility in Wales and marks the 40th anniversary of the first Pride march in Wales. With more inclusive groups forming across the nation – even in its most rural areas – and vibrant Pride events growing every year, Wales is becoming a beacon of hope for equality and inclusion. This year’s Pinc List also celebrates the community’s achievements in sport, including the successful bid to host EuroGames Cardiff 2027 – an international LGBTQ+ multi-sport festival. Congratulations to our 'Gaffa' and everyone who made this year’s Pinc List. Your dedication, courage, and leadership are changing lives – on and off the field! 📸 Want to get involved?
