Clubs

Wisborough Green Sports supports the village clubs playing on the Green, plus Supporter membership for everyone who simply loves the place. Each club runs its own fixtures and training; WGS maintains the Pavilion, coordinates sporting use of the Green and insures the affiliated clubs.

Cricket

Cricket has been played on the Green since 1741, and the club describes itself as established pre-1741 — inclusive, active and growing, with a proud tradition. It fields 1st and 2nd Saturday league cricket, a Women's XI (hardball and softball leagues) and a Sunday XI, and runs a thriving junior programme of over 200 boys and girls aged 5–16, several of whom have represented Sussex at area and county level.

Football

A friendly village club offering football to all ages, back on the Green after the 2021–22 drainage works. The senior side currently plays in Division 1 North of the West Sussex Football League, with two senior teams since the 2023–24 season, and the youth section — welcomed as an associated club in 2022 — plays in the South Surrey Youth League, training on the Green and on the astro at Billingshurst.

Stoolball

The historic Sussex game — its county roots go back to around 1540 — has been played on the Green for generations. Stoolball is not currently being played at Wisborough Green, but the club would love to hear from anyone interested in helping to bring it back.

Touch Rugby

The Wisborough Wizards are the most social of the clubs — 20 to 25 at training every week, and "a good mix of people with different ages and abilities".
