Leenders and her brother were selected for the Talent Development Team when Claudia was eleven years old. In 2009 she qualified for the Junior European Championships and the Junior World Cup. She made her first appearances at the senior level in 2010, with participations at the European Championships, World Championships and the World Cup.
