Meet The Team

mANAGEMENT TEAM

We have a crew of amazing people that work behind the scenes and down at fields to make your experience second to none. Here’s a few familiar faces. If you havent shared a drink with any of these lovely folk, you’re not doing it right ;)

ALYSSA HARDIE – General manager, co founder, NEWCASTLE and Central Coast

Alyssa comes from a sports background with a special talent and experience in sports administration. After two ACL injuries it was time for her to hang up the boots and stop carving everyone up on the Soccer field (She represented NSW). Fun Fact. She is also a qualified Highschool PE Teacher. She recently moved to Newcastle and is our Newy Founder and General Manager. Huzzah.

MADELEINE WILKIE – MANAGING DIRECTOR

Mads is the Aussie founder of Urban Rec and has spent the last 5 years growing the club to where it is today. Her passion is bringing people together, and organising kick ass events. She is also, ironically… terrible at sports. She was never encouraged to play as a kid, and as a result, pretty much sucks at most sports, but loves trying.

WILL STEELE – LEAGUE Manager

Will joined Urban Rec in September 2025 and is our League Manager for the Central Coast. He loves sport whether its watching/playing or talking about it he is here for it and is completing a degree in Exercise and Sport Science . Will absolutely loves a laugh and a joke with anyone he meets and loves watching the crew and members mingle and get along with each other. A Rugby League player by trade and a passionate supporter of the St George Illawarra Dragons in the NRL but has dipped his toe into many sports and gives anything a try.
