ClubSport
ClubSport represents and supports local member clubs, organisations and individuals to help everyone to achieve their sporting goals. ClubSport networks within the Scottish Borders play an important role in local communities, providing an independent voice for local sports clubs, regardless of size or sport. Collectively the ClubSport organisations are well positioned in the community for raising important local sporting issues with their local authority and locally elected members.
ClubSport is broken down into four areas:
- ClubSport Berwickshire
- ClubSport Ettrick and Lauderdale (serving Eildon area partnership)
- ClubSport Roxburgh (also serving Cheviot area partnership)
- ClubSport Tweeddale
Many clubs and/or individuals are already members of ClubSport. Those who are not can affiliate for free, but to apply for grants it is £30 per year for clubs or £15 per year for individuals.
Applications forms can be downloaded from our website, or you can contact your club Development Officer.
Being a member of ClubSport also allows member clubs to access short term funds that often exist to support coaches with education or club members with the cost of living.
