Our Football Team is dedicated to improving community football pitches nationwide to ensure that community sport is played on the best possible surfaces. We work closely with local football clubs, providing support through education, training, and the provision of specialised equipment and materials. We collaborate with the Football Foundation and local County Football Associations to achieve the aims and objectives of the Pitch Advisory Service.
REGIONAL PITCH ADVISORS (RPA)
Your RPA is your go-to expert for all turf and pitch-related matters, offering valuable guidance to keep your facilities in top shape! Whether you need advice on pitch maintenance and renovation, your RPA can provide remote support or on-site visits and reports, depending on availability.
They can assist you in communicating with local authorities and contractors and connect you with specialised services such as drainage and construction consultancy. They will also guide you in selecting the right pitch maintenance machinery and equipment.
Furthermore, they are available to assist you with funding opportunities, working closely with local governing bodies to help you apply for and utilise any available funds, if eligible.
Looking to expand your knowledge? Your advisor can connect you to sports turf management training, including workshops, webinars, and one-day courses to enhance your skills.
