Details:
Leisure Leagues – Europe’s largest organisers of small-sided football, are about to launch a brand new league in Harrogate.

As well as the organisers waiving the usual £25 joining fee, all new teams will even receive a free retro team kit.

Leisure Leagues General Manager Chris Rowntree commented:

“We run leagues right across the country and although most of the teams come from local amateur clubs, the majority of our teams are simply made up of work colleagues, pub teams, or groups of friends. This means that the standard can be very varied but we will be providing different divisions for different standards so everybody is given the opportunity to play a competitive game of football once a week with the chance of winning prizes.

Matches will be played on Sundays each week between 5pm and 7pm, and both the winners and runners up will receive gold or silver trophies for each individual player, with the bottom team in the division receiving a silver-plated wooden spoon! In addition to this, there will be awards for Player of The Season as well as a Magnum of Champagne for the winning team.

There has been a lot of interest already for the new league and I would urge any teams that are thinking about entering to do so as soon as possible as places will be very limited.”

Chris added: “We already run successful leagues throughout the UK and are certain that the league in Harrogate will be just as popular as the others that are already running.”

As well as the free entry and kit, all matches are refereed by a UKIFF qualified official and all equipment will be provided.

Chris said: “We take care of everything. All people need to do is turn up and pay the match fee.”

The only cost for teams is the match fee per team per week, guaranteed to be the lowest in the area. Leisure Leagues, however, are committed to investing all its profits into charities and environmentally sustainable projects. A fact that Executive Director Stephanie Bullock is proud of.

Stephanie admitted: “Groups of mates enjoying a fun, competitive game with us has been what we are about since 1978.

“We are proud of our role within the community. It is very important that local people enjoy the games with us. We see it as key that we give something back to the areas where our leagues take place.”

Cancer Research UK, The Dog’s Trust and The National Blind Children’s Society are just a few of the good causes that Leisure Leagues support, and the organisation have also been endorsed by HRH The Prince Of Wales, Prime Minister Gordon Brown, leader of the opposition David Cameron and Mayor Of London Boris Johnson.
