The free two-hour training sessions are aimed at all groundskeepers and will focus on:

  • In season pitch preparation
  • In season pitch repairs
  • Water and drought management
  • Increasing playing capacity across the club's squares
  • Q&A on any pitch concerns

ECB/GMA Regional Pitch Advisor Phil Jeggo will lead the training sessions, backed up by our own County Pitch Advisors.

We would encourage both new and experienced groundskeepers to attend these sessions, as there is always something new to learn from these largely practical based demonstrations.

Also welcome are any young club volunteers who may be interested in learning more about the steps needed to get a pitch ready for play.
