Player Spotlight 💡

We chatted with local legend Rebekah about how she got started with Just Play 🌟

How did your Just Play journey begin?

I was browsing online for new basketball clubs to join! I was looking for an extra night to play basketball and it just seemed like an easy option. I had my first game at Nunawading stadium a year or more ago, and have been in and out and around other stadiums ever since. 

Tell us about what it was like meeting your team for the first time.

Everyone was really calm and welcoming. They all tried to get to know me as quickly as possible. 

All players literally come to “just play”. So it’s always friendly vibes throughout each team I’ve played for. I’m probably always one of the most competitive players to turn up, so it's really cool when everyone just accepts you for the player that you are and everyone does the best that they can.

Do you find Just Play easy to use?

Yeah pretty simple! Heads up though! Make sure if you’ve registered for more than one game in a week, make sure to check the right date, venue and time for each game correctly! I got my two games confused with the emails that JP sent to me so I could be more organised… my bad! 🤣

Would you recommend Just Play to a friend?

Yeah 100%! It’s good to keep active! I’ve always competed in high level/competitive sports so it’s great to have options when you want to stay active within a team between seasons and do something different! All levels of ability, ages and experience are appreciated amongst all teams and it’s super easy to get involved! Anyone who wants to pick up a sport during the week with no stress? This is the place to go.
