At Y Leisure City, we’re passionate about fostering a vibrant social sports culture in Melbourne’s northern suburbs. Our commitment to social sports for adults goes beyond the game – it’s about promoting physical fitness, mental wellbeing, and social connections for individuals of all ages and skill levels. If you’re looking for reasons to jump into our social competitions, look no further.
The many benefits of playing social sports go beyond physical fitness and may surprise you. We have discussed the top 5 reasons why you should join a social sports team in our blog. Now here is a guide to what Y Leisure City offers to adults who want to stay active while connecting with others in your community:
Futsal
One of the fastest-growing sports, Futsal is the only 5-a-side version of football officially recognised by FIFA. And thanks to the indoor setting at Leisure City – rain or shine, the action never stops.
The Y’s Futsal competition isn’t just about the game; it’s about building a fun and inclusive community of futsal aficionados. We invite you to register as a team or as a single player and we welcome adult participants from all walks of life. The Y also places a strong emphasis on sportsmanship and fair play. Here, you’ll find healthy rivalries that push players to new heights while fostering mutual respect among competitors.

The Y’s indoor football competition is an ideal outlet for individuals who seek to fine-tune their footy skills in between traditional matches, in the off-season, or simply want to enjoy a spirited kickabout in a controlled indoor environment. With its emphasis on skillful play, teamwork, and adherence to the unique set of rules, indoor football promises an exciting and rewarding experience for all adult male participants.

Indoor Tape Ball Cricket
Tape Ball Cricket is an amazing game – with very simple rules which are flexible allowing you to play your own unique game. This popular and fast-paced team sport is great fun for all levels of players and those new to the sport of cricket.
The game is played with only a small amount of gear required, and also a small number of players (teams don’t even have to have the same number of players) to get your game under way.
At Y Leisure City we have 2 Tape Ball Cricket court options available for court hire depending on your number of players and requirements. All you need to bring along is your friends, your rules and we have everything you need to get started!
