Leisure Leagues 6-a-side comes to players and staff rescue

“We’re ready!” This is the message coming out of the headquarters of Leisure Leagues this month, the largest provider of small-sided football in Europe.

The community run 6-a-side league organiser is taking the reins in Hull as it looks to pick up the pieces from the closure of Goals Soccer Centre off Clough Road in Hull to provide relief to hundreds of disappointed football players and staff alike.

Northwind 5’s LTD acquired Goals PLC out of administration in late 2019 but struggled, particularly during the Covid pandemic leaving many players without regular football and many referees without work when its closure was announced in November 2020.

Thankfully, Leisure Leagues have stepped in to provide playing opportunities with two brand new 6-a-side leagues on the superb full size 3G pitch at the Steve Prescott Sports Centre in Hull College off Beverley Road, a mere 5 minute drive from the old Goals soccer centre. A new Sunday and Tuesday 6-a-side league will provide spaces for up to 40 teams and a further 16 spaces being offered at Wolfreton School on a Monday night.

As well as playing opportunities, the new leagues provide job opportunities for up eight members of staff, four former local staff of Goals have already signed on.

Area Manager, Michael Clark, explains more, “It is of course disappointing to see any local business close but we are pleased to give the local players of Hull and local staff some new options to being involved and playing again and ultimately playing for the best providers.  We offer some superb prizes and unrivalled playing experiences, a comprehensive website and stats such as goalscorers, man of the matches and even fair play awards!”

The Star prize is a chance to fly to Germany on an all-expenses trip to a Bundesliga match together with 6 friends. Each month there are free facebook live draws for a superb mix of prizes to be won.

All three evenings – Sunday, Monday and Tuesday offer competitive, multi-division football for just £26 a team.  

Our existing Hull Monday league in Willerby at Wolfreton School will resume on Monday 18th January where we will be extending for the new season from 12 teams to 16 teams. Get signed up now!!
