General Sports Turf Maintenance Courses


Introduction

Winter Sports, Cricket (Autumn and Spring), Bowls and Artificial Surfaces

Approved by Lantra Awards as Customised Awards

The Pitchcare General Sports Turf Maintenance (GSTM) Courses  are available for delivery to groups of 6 – 10, on site.

They have been particularly designed for the volunteer or part-time groundsman who has little or no professional training, typically a person looking after their local town or village sports pitch. They aim to provide comprehensive basic knowledge to enable him or her to maintain the pitch throughout a 12 month period.

The training is also useful for a young person interested in developing a career as a groundsman or greenkeeper as they provide an overview of the equipment and machinery involved.

The course manual, a copy of which is given to each delegate, includes working diaries showing the range of tasks needed to be accomplished each month. Delegates each receive a Lantra Awards certificate of attendance.
