why choose us?
DISCIPLINE Unlike 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.
I’m Stuart, your Customer Services Executive. My team and I will visit your venue periodically to ensure that everything is exactly as it should be. As a serving police officer for 22 years before joining Leisure Leagues, I know the importance of discipline and organisation in small-sided leagues. I chose Leisure Leagues above all other competitors because I know that in this area they have the very highest standards. I’m also the UK’s number one international referee and act as Tournament Director at the 6-a-side European Championships as well as senior official at the Paralympics and the Blind Football World Cup. I look forward to meeting you.
Stuart
We use hundreds of educational 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. We understand that if we were not stringent on enforcing fair, competitive play and excellent team behaviour at all or our leagues, then we would not be offered the opportunities to operate on the best facilities around the country. Our approach to discipline ensures that our relationships with venues prove strong, productive and successful for both sides.
INSURANCE As the largest provider of small-sided leagues in the UK, we have made sure that we have got the most comprehensive insurance policy of any leagues operator. So our minimum £10 million public liability cover (£5 million more than the next best league operator) gives you total confidence that should there be any negligence in any way on our part then you have peace of mind that our insurers can cover it.
