Training - Sports Grounds

Understanding the Science and Management of your Sports Grounds

The training programme consists of four consecutive one-day modules. Delegates have the choice of attending one or all of the days, depending on their requirements.  

Each module is split into two sections, with a theoretical session in the morning, and a practical session in the afternoon. The morning sessions, presented by STRI research staff provides up to date information and some new ways of thinking.
