Would your club like a direct link with Leeds United Ladies?The Leeds United Ladies Player Community Partnership Scheme was launched last season and has proved to be a huge success, so this season we are opening it up to more clubs. Up to 20 clubs can now have the opportunity to be one of Leeds United Ladies official club partners. Scotton Scorchers, Pannal Sports, Basildon Ladies and Collingham Junior FC all became Leeds United Ladies Player Community Partners last season and are looking to renew this season. Mike Collier Head of Girls football at Scotton Scorchers FC commented "“We are looking to link up with another player this season after the successful community player partnership link with Natalie Haigh last season, The girls thought it was great to have a National Premier league player being part of their club and to find out all about the commitment and hard work it takes to be one. We also had a wonderful day out at the league cup final where we met both the Leeds United Ladies and the Arsenal teams after the match in the VIP area, it was great for Scotton Scorchers and it enables our club to support Leeds United ladies as well”.

FREE tickets are only allowed to be sold to members of your club and NOT outside the ground or to the public. How does it work?Which player?Your club chooses which LULFC player they would like to have the link with. We can advise which players live locally or which are already linked with a club on the partnership scheme. The LULFC player will visit your club to either put on a coaching session or attend one of your club functions (subject to agreeing a suitable date to both parties). Your club players will be given a chance to chat to the player and learn what it takes to be a Women’s National Premier league player. Any photos, autographs or questions can be sorted at this time too. FREE TICKETSYour club can request up to 20 FREE Child Tickets for any Leeds United Ladies first team or reserve home league game.
