Wakeboarding is currently the fastest growing watersport in the world. It is thought of as a combination of snowboarding and waterskiing, but after a few minutes on the water you’ll realise that it’s so much more than that. Leeds Wakeboarding & Kiteboarding offers two of the fastest growing water sports to its members in a relaxed and enjoyable atmosphere, with plenty of events lined up; both on and off the water!!

The University of Leeds Wake and Kiteboarding Club

The Club
Wakeboarding is currently the fastest growing watersport in the world. Leeds Wake & Kite is able to offer these sports to all ability levels in a relaxed and enjoyable atmosphere. We’ll be running weekly afternoon trips (normally Wednesdays and/or Fridays) to Sheffield cable waterski, which is about 45-60 minutes away by car at Rother Valley Park. In addition to these weekly trips we will be holding our Wakeboarding GIAG session in order to offer you the best start in Wakeboarding, at the most affordable price. The GIAG trip introduces beginners to the sport, offering tuition from qualified instructors.

Coaching Scholarships
The University of Leeds awards a number of scholarships to aspiring coaches to help improve the quality and quantity of coaching available to students in clubs. Working in conjunction with the Leeds Sport team and club committees it is an excellent opportunity for students to develop their skills and grow as a coach whilst at University.

The Coaching Scholarship is an exciting opportunity for current undergraduate or postgraduate students to rise to the challenge of coaching their fellow students alongside working with senior coaches and mentors to become a more effective coach as well as articulate the transferable skills coaching gives you in real-world situations. Ideally, candidates will have an NGB Level 1 or 2 or equivalent experience in their chosen sport and be looking to build on this whilst at University.

Applications for coaching scholarships for the forthcoming academic year are accepted from February to April.
