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 ;)

MADELEINE WILKIE – MANAGING DIRECTOR

Mads is the Aussie founder of Urban Rec and has spent the last 9 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.

DANNY SKIDMORE – GENERAL MANAGER

Danny is an experienced sports professional with years of Rugby under his belt, he brings lots of experience around creating communities, member experience, and sports coaching. His skillset is in building social experiences, but he is also very good at disciplining the dickheads and making nice cups of tea. He hails from the Midlands and most people struggle to understand what he’s saying.

RYAN DANNE, LEAGUE operations

Ryan “Rowdy” is our gun League Manager. He has a degree in Sports Management and a killer instinct for running good leagues. He may seem fun and flirty, but behind closed doors this young man is old at heart, our resident retiree. He is a really handy guy to have around, actually. He goes alright at Cricket and in the pub… hence the name “Rowdy”. Make sure you catch him for a beer one night! See his video!

ELIAS GHANNOUM

Elias originally joined Urban Rec as a host and was quickly recruited to head office as a League Manager and Marketing Support. Elias has a warm nature and welcoming presence that serves our members perfectly. With a background in retail and hospitality, quick-thinking and going above and beyond is part of their wheelhouse. Elias loves bush doofs, hummus, Multisport, attention to detail, and challenging the norm! Make sure you find them at the leagues for a cheeky chat!!
