Grounds Week 2025

Hear from the West Riding groundskeeping community!

This week is #GroundsWeek – the Grounds Management Association’s annual, nationwide celebration of the dedicated professionals and volunteers who work behind the scenes to make playing surfaces and green spaces thrive.

To support your club/organisation in improving your grass pitches, West Riding FA have asked those clubs who are already doing some great work to improve their grass pitches via the Football Foundation’s Grass Pitch Maintenance Fund, for their ‘Top Tips’ that can be passed on to others.

These clubs have provided some fantastic advice, which can be found below.
