Hampshire FA Grounds & maintenance forum
The annual event is hosted in partnership with The Grounds Management Association (GMA) and Hampshire FA partners.
This was a very informative workshop and provided a wealth of information and advice for renovating and maintaining pitches out of season. The team that took the workshop were very experienced and knowledgeable and were able to provide guidance that was extremely helpful and I have already been able to put this into practice. Hopefully the work undertaken since the workshop will provide good pitches for the new season.
FREE GROUNDS AND MAINTENANCE FORUM 2025
Hampshire FA teams up with its partners including Fleet Line Markers, MH Goals, Fisher Lane Groundcare, New Milton Sand & Ballast, Sports Labs, Technical Surfaces, Rod Gaskin Ltd, MW Turfcare and The GMA to host a Grounds & Maintenance Forum designed with the grassroots workforce in mind, hosted every year at a Hampshire FA site.
The forum consists of a series of indoor presentations and outdoor demonstrations delivered and designed with grassroots clubs in mind. There are free-flow & structured options available on the day, a guest speaker/appearance and presentations delivered by The GMA and Hampshire FA.
The next event will take place on Wednesday 19th of March 2025 at our King George V Football Complex in Portsmouth.
Many thanks for the invitation to attend the pitch renovations seminar. I found it very useful as this is my first season looking after the pitch here at Hayling United. I especially found that talking to the team helped me improve where to go moving forward. I am looking forward to hopefully spending several years doing the maintenance for the club, and hopefully getting the support from The FA.
