The Grass Pitch Revolution

In March, we held three regional webinars which took people from right across the grassroots football community through our plans to transform grass pitches in England. We covered everything from how to apply for long-term funding through to quick tips and tricks you can use right now to get your pitch looking top-notch. 

Didn't catch one of the webinars or simply want to recap on what was covered? No problem - you can watch our North region webinar recording below. The Midlands and West and South and East recordings can be found here.
