The Modern-Day Side-Hustle

August 22, 2022 - 2 years ago

Everyone and their dog seems to have a side hustle these days, Uber drivers, Deliveroo cyclists, selling old shit on Marketplace. Some people have started side hustle companies, developing apps, investing in bit-coin. What is next? Well, for the everyday sports fan, subscribing to Kayo does not come cheap, so Urban Rec Event Hosting might just be the side hustle you need to afford those ridiculous grocery prices.

You don’t need to be a qualified referee or umpire – in fact, we would prefer you weren’t. All we want if for you to understand the intricacies of your sport, have a passion and be willing to teach the new people in your league the rules. 

If you like making people’s lives better, then this could be for you. Without sounding like a bunch of wankers, being an Event Host, changes lives. People have been socially disconnected for so long and getting social in a sporting environment has been an intimidating choice. Our hosts are trained to make special

It’s simple to be involved. Once your league is assigned it’s yours for the 10-week season. You get handed a brand-new uniform, equipment and speaker and your League Manager will make sure you get a warm welcome to meet the players and captains. Your roster is sent out weekly and your payments go through every Monday. Goodbye weekend spending guilt!

The staff perks are good! You can play for free in any other league of your choice. We host insanely good social nights which act as a fun way to meet more like-minded people. Some cities even offer extra incentive for you to cover shifts on an ad-hoc basis.

The pay is generous. Starting at $28 per hour of potential tax-free earnings, this is a good gig. You get paid to train and you get paid to be a part of a fun-loving community.

Need more convincing? Just take it from some of our current Event Hosts

5 Things To Do If You're Not Going to Europe

August 22, 2022 - 2 years ago

If you have been or are going to Europe, you can stop reading now. We don’t care...

If you are loving this Wollongong weather and can’t get enough of the sunshine that has blessed graced us after the rain, read on. Who is to say that we can’t still be experiencing amazing new things while we’re still in our hometown? (even if we’re getting a lil’ jealous of friends’ travel pics...) We have complied some new experiences to tantalize your interests to finish out the winter season!

  1. TRY MINI GOLF @ HOLEY MOLEY GOLF CLUB
    Mini Golf is a fun way to test your patience and not take yourself too seriously. Holey Moley is in Wollongong Central and is sure to be full of giggles and laughter.
    MON-THURS OFFER: Urban Rec members get $10 games and $6 house drinks Monday through Thursday.
    🔓 SHOW YOUR URBAN REC QR CODE (ON THE URBAN REC APP) TO ACTIVATE DISCOUNT.

     
  2. GET TICKETS TO OUR WINTER SOCIAL EVENT = ESCAPE ROOM & KARAOKE NIGHT
    If you’ve never done an escape room, now’s the time to tick it off the bucket list! Breakout Bar in Wollongong Central has 5 different escape rooms to choose from, PLUS they have a karaoke room and a full-service bar, including specialty drinks and cocktails!

    The Winter Member Social Event is coming up on Wednesday, 14 September, and it’s going to a fun AF night! As one of our newest member perks partners, Breakout Bar is stoked to be hosting us for a night of mystery, teamwork and cheeky mid-week bevvies.

     
  3. LEARN TO PLAY FLAG GRIDIRON
    Flag Gridiron is as close as you can get to tackle gridiron without all the hard knocks, helmets and pads. This league is perfect for people who want to play and have a good time. There are a few yanks rolling around, but don’t worry, they know how to play fair. This league runs at UOW on Tuesday nights. Plus with the NRL season drawing to a close and the NFL season quickly approaching, why not try something new?!

     
  4. GET YOUR CYCLING FIX (OR PLAN AHEAD….) FOR UCI WOLLONGONG 2022
    If you haven’t already heard, there’s this thing called the ‘UCI Road World Championships’ coming to the Gong. It’s going to include 8 days of elite racing and what they’ve called a ‘non-stop city festival for the whole community.’ We’re not exactly sure what that means, except some sort of an Urban Race situation trying to figure out how to get to work, school, etc for lots of you, so this is our Urban Rec courtesy to be sure you CHECK OUT UPDATES so you can be sure to join in all the fun, but also be prepared for when you’ve got to navigate the road closures and lollipop people directing traffic.

     
  5. COUNT YOUR MONEY
    If all else fails, open your band app and think about the extra $5-10,000 you would not have if you were off “making memories.” We are not bitter at all…
