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.

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.'
