    Get into Grounds

    The GMA's Young Board of Directors (YBD) was created in 2011, when a group of talented young turf professionals were brought together to encourage young people into the industry.

The Young Board of Directors are leading the GMA's 'Get into Grounds' strategy encouraging 14-16 year olds, school leavers and young people to consider a career in groundsmanship. Most members of the group entered the industry by volunteering at a local sports club and learnt the skills and gained the experience they needed as they went along.
