2017 AWARDS
After a spectacular year of sport in 2016, the Leeds Sports Awards took place on 7th March 2017 at the first direct arena, bigger and better than before! Sporting stars from grass roots levels to Olympic and Paralympic champions were recognised, alongside the coaches and volunteers who support them.
As well as these incredible sporting heroes, the event saw VIP guests, city councillors, sporting partners and sponsors from across the city come together with a host of individuals involved in sport at every level, to truly celebrate our city’s sporting achievements.
