County Pitch Advisors (CPA) are qualified through the Grounds Management Association to support clubs with raising the standards of playing surfaces as well as the understanding of sports turf management practices among grassroots cricket clubs.
A CPA can support leagues and clubs to be reactive to surfaces performance in season and support clubs to be proactive in planning and improving surfaces performances long, medium, and short term. As such they are a valuable resource for clubs & leagues to call upon if required.
