2012/13 season...
Adults: £521 per team, per pitch

2017-18 season current charges..
Adults: £604 per team, per pitch
Junior: £221 per team, per pitch
Mini: £110 per team, per pitch

The prices charged for pitches in Leeds goes up most years', meaning less Children can get involved with their local sports club as the price becomes a barrier for some families, especially those on low incomes or benefits
