Team Building in Leeds
Leeds has one of the UK's biggest legal and financial communities outside London. Help decide whether Secta's company leagues launch there.
The short answer
Is there a company football league in Leeds?
Not yet. There is no weekly league where Leeds companies play each other, and that is what Secta runs in London. We are gauging Leeds now: register interest in friendlies, pitch bookings, leagues, tournaments or padel, and the first firms in become the founding teams.
Leeds is home to more than 30 national and international banks and over 150 accountancy firms, including all of the Big Four, with law firms and barristers' chambers around Park Square and newer offices at Wellington Place.
That is a lot of firms competing for the same clients and graduates, which is exactly who Secta's industry leagues are built for, starting with law and finance. Tell us which format your team would play.

Questions
Team Building in Leeds: FAQs
Where can Leeds companies play 5-a-side after work?
Powerleague Leeds Central by Wellington Bridge is the closest to the offices, with a bar and function space. Goals on Kirkstall Road has twelve pitches, Football World in Cross Green is indoors, and the John Charles Centre for Sport is in south Leeds.
Where can we play padel in Leeds as a team?
Slazenger Padel Club Leeds North has twelve indoor courts and Optimum Padel in Cross Green has eight, so a big group can play at once. Pukka Padel and Pure Padel North Leeds have outdoor courts.
Is there a corporate football league in Leeds?
Not a weekly one between companies yet. If enough Leeds firms register interest, Secta will launch one, starting with the industries that ask most, with the founding firms choosing the night and the venue. In the meantime we can set up a friendly against another company or book a pitch for your team.
What happens when we register interest for Leeds?
We note your company, the offer and roughly how many players. When Leeds has enough interest for a venue, you hear first and help choose the night and the format. Registering commits you to nothing.
Can you run a one-off event for us sooner?
Possibly. Tell us what you have in mind, your numbers and your date, and we will tell you honestly whether we can run it.
