    Pitch Advisory Service (PAS)

    Funded by the National Governing Bodies of sport, PAS aims to raise the standards of sports surfaces as well as the understanding of sports turf management practices among grassroots clubs.

The Pitch Advisory Service, formerly the Grounds and Natural Turf Improvement Programme, was launched in 2014 and is funded by Sport England and the Football Foundation, working in association with the ECBRFL and RFU.

With the addition of RFL and RFU, Phase 3 has seen the programme grown considerably; led by Chief Operating Officer, Jason Booth, the team now consists of four Key Account Managers, one Programmes Support Lead, eleven Regional Pitch Advisors, and one Administrator. The aim of the Pitch Advisory Service is to raise the standards of sports surfaces as well as the understanding of sports turf management practices among grassroots sports clubs across England.
