THE STRUCTURE: Return to Recess is split into four periods creating tons of varierty and a chance to try something new. Each week there is a different “theme” which could be around a sport, event or activity. You will compete over the course of Recess to win points for your team.
- PERIOD 1 (RECESS): In this period we play warm-up games from yester-year. Each week the game and activity will vary. In this period you can win a point for your team, or compete as a team to take the win. Period 1 lasts for 10 mins.
- PERIOD 2 (P.E): It’s time to get physical. Played in 4 corners you will learn or build skills that are themed around a sport, game, or event. The true test of fitness comes at the end of period when you and your team compete in a relay or game. Period 2 lasts for 10 mins.
- PERIOD 3 (GAME TIME): This is where we play and participate in a game that will decide the fate of your team. Period 3 lasts for 15 mins.
- PERIOD 4 (R&R): A non competitive time for rest and recovery. Your event host will take you through function stretches to warm you down and get you relaxed.
WINNING TEAM: The winner is the team with the greater number of points at the end of recess. A draw will be awarded if both teams have an equal amount of goals. The winning team receives 3 points, 1 point each for drawn game and no points for a loss. Your Fun Points will affect your position on the standings. If two teams are matched on competition points, the team with the higher fun points rating will be favoured up the ladder.
FAIRPLAY SYSTEM: Each league night you will have an Event Host onsite, but these guys are not official referees. Urban Rec is a recreational league which practices a fair-play and fun-first policy, meaning you should be making your own calls on the game. The Event Host will be there to make the calls not made by individuals, keep time, and help guide the games within the game play rules. The Urban Rec Event Host has the final say on any issue that cannot be self-resolved.
SPORTSMANSHIP: All Urban Rec participants have read and agreed to the Urban Rec Code of Conduct. We also exercise a strict Disciplinary Policy. If you are seen to be rude in any way or not playing within the respect of the rules and Code of Conduct, you will be asked by the Urban Rec Staff to sub out of the game. If after returning to the game your attitude does not improve you will be asked to leave the venue, and an assessment will be made if you can play again. We do not tolerate idiots. Play fair.
