GMA Community
Tap into the collective knowledge of the sector
A free, open community for everyone who looks after grounds – from grassroots volunteers to full-time professionals


A growing community, rooted in expertise
Looking after grounds is a skilled, technical job, and a lot depends on getting it right – for players, clubs, your local community and everyone who uses the space.
Whether you're a volunteer keeping a town pitch playable, a caretaker at a local school, or a professional running a large single site, there’s a lot to balance, and every season brings on new challenges. You might not always have someone to help you problem-solve, or to share their specialist knowledge – but across the country, someone has most likely encountered a similar issue to you. That’s where the GMA Community can help.
The GMA Community brings that shared know-how into one place. It’s a free platform for looks after grounds. You can ask your peers for advice, share what works for you, and learn from people who do the same job in all weathers – wherever you are, and whatever the size of your patch.
