Play Zones Initiative: A Commitment to Fostering a Healthy, Engaged Community in Leeds

Vastint, in partnership with Leeds United Football Club, is proud to introduce the Play Zones initiative, a groundbreaking project that goes beyond being just a football facility. This initiative demonstrates a strong commitment to fostering a healthy, engaged community by providing free access to recreational football and connecting young people with inspiring role models from the world of sport.

Creating Welcoming Spaces for All

The Play Zones are designed to offer a welcoming and inclusive environment where young people can access high-quality football facilities without any barriers to participation. With a variety of pitches tailored to different skill levels, the Play Zones cater to everyone—from beginners just starting their journey in sports to more experienced players looking to refine their skills. This accessibility promotes engagement in sports, encouraging young people to embrace physical activity and the benefits it brings.

Inspiring the Next Generation

At the heart of the Play Zones initiative is the desire to connect local youth with Leeds United’s team, creating opportunities for mentorship and inspiration. A dedicated visitor centre will host motivational talks, workshops, and events that emphasise essential life skills such as teamwork, discipline, and perseverance. By engaging with professional athletes and coaches, young people will be encouraged to pursue their passions, not only in sports but also in other areas of their lives.

We are excited to create a space where everyone feels welcome and supported.”

Enhancing Physical and Mental Health

The Play Zones aim to enhance the physical and mental health of Leeds’ youth by providing opportunities for regular physical activity and social interaction. By fostering a sense of community through sports, the initiative helps build confidence, promote teamwork, and create lasting friendships among participants. These spaces are designed to be inclusive and accommodating for individuals of all ages and backgrounds, ensuring that local youth teams, families, and adults looking to stay active can all benefit from the facilities.

A Legacy for Leeds

As the Play Zones initiative unfolds, Vastint and Leeds United Football Club are committed to making a lasting impact on the community. By prioritising youth engagement and promoting a healthy lifestyle, the Play Zones will become a cornerstone of Leeds’ rich football culture, encouraging future generations to stay active and engaged.
