Welcome to Newcastleton Polysport 


Polysport is the village all-weather artificial grass multi-sports pitch with fencing and floodlighting. We also have a clubhouse comprising changing rooms, referees room, first aid room, storage space and NEW fitness room. Inductions for the new fitness room start in June, membership is £35, this is for unlimited use between now and the end of December.

Prior to the development of Polysport the only sports facilities in the village were the tarmac tennis court in poor condition in the play park and the 125-year-old Hearts of Liddesdale village football team with its own leased pitch in the village.  

The idea of renovating the tennis court was first proposed in June 1998 and became the impetus for the formation of Newcastleton Polysport in 1999 and the larger facilities project.  With strong leadership from a local resident, the embryonic group gained charity status and embarked on a program of development planning and fund-raising to create the new facilities.

The new pitch was formally opened by Steve Cram on 31 January 2001 and was subsequently featured in the Children in Need broadcast in November 2001. 

We continue to thank our funders and our voluntary supporters without whom we would not have Polysport. We hope you enjoy our facilities.
