WELCOME
F
or over 20 years Leisure Leagues have been the barometer by which every other organiser of small sided leagues judges themselves. A truly international organisation with an unrivalled and envied reputation throughout our industry. We work with schools, universities, colleges and public and private sports facilities to provide communities across the length of the UK, Ireland and internationally with affordable, weekly competitive community sport in a safe, controlled environment and with a professionalism that stands us apart from our competitors. Working with hundreds of venues across Britain, our UK operation covers the very tip of Scotland to Kent, across to Cornwall and up through Wales. We help venues deliver their sporting targets week in, week out and work closely with all our partner venues to provide an unrivalled service to tens of thousands of players a week.

We operate from a 15,000 sq ft modern office complex in the heart of Birmingham, centrally located so that we can deliver results anywhere across the UK within the shortest time, with a team of service managers.

WHY CHOOSE US?
We are number one for a reason
S
o, you know we are the largest, we have been around the longest and we have blue chip support across the spectrum. As a starting point, you can trust us.
Crucially, you also know that our aims are the same as yours because we are the only national provider of small sided leagues who are registered as not for profit. But there are other reasons why you should choose Leisure Leagues to partner with you.
DISCIPLINE
The jewel in our crown
U
nlike every other league provider in the UK, discipline issues in our leagues are almost non-existent. The reason for this is that we take a zero tolerance approach because the last thing you want are people playing on your site whose behaviour is not what any of us would expect. We use hundreds of education establishments throughout the UK and we know how important it is to make sure that discipline is the most cherished thing to you, whilst it remains the jewel in our crown amongst all league providers. And the most important thing for you to know is that because we are non-profit making, and are not driven by purely commercial considerations, we do not have any pull to keep a team in a league who may have a poor discipline record, simply because they provide income to us.

A TRULY GLOBAL PRESENCE? A leading international brand
With franchised leagues across the globe, we are the only small sided league operator who can claim to have a truly global brand. We have always wanted to bring the best brand of small sided football to as many people as possible, and our new ventures across the world have given us even more experience in the best way to bring 5 and 6 a side leagues to a wide range of people from all countries and backgrounds.
