14-Day Advance Bookings of Turf Soccer Pitches through Online Balloting

Registered Leisure Link patrons can submit their balloting applications for natural and artificial turf soccer pitches(except multi-purpose turf pitches) through Leisure Link e-Services System (the LLES). Patrons can enquire about the sessions of turf soccer pitches available for balloting on the 15th day from the day of checking. They can then submit their balloting applications on the following day. For example, patrons can check on 1 July the sessions of turf soccer pitches available on 15 July through the LLES and submit their balloting applications on 2 July.

Booking Procedure

Each Leisure Link patron can only submit application for one session of turf soccer pitch(irrespective of the type of turf soccer pitch) on each balloting date and must also fill in the Leisure Link Patron numbers of four users. The venue, time slot and the four users cannot be changed after the application is submitted. Sessions will be allocated through computer balloting on the day following the application deadline. Successful applicants will receive an email notification in the morning of the balloting day and must confirm the booking with payment through the LLES within two days before the payment deadline (i.e. 11 pm on the following day of balloting). Sessions on hold without payment confirmation and other remaining sessions will be made available for booking after the deadline through various Leisure Link booking channels within 10 days on a first-come, first-served basis. No email notification will be sent to the unsuccessful applicants.
