Aim

A more formal way to assess whether the pitch/es conform to standards set out by the RFU.

Method

Measure

  • Sward content & coverage
  • Weeds
  • Pests & diseases
  • Surface levels
  • Gradient & orientation
  • Height of cut
  • Pitch dimensions

Timing

During and out of season

Effects of incorrect procedure

  • Poor standard pitch/s
  • Loss of play due to poor surface conditions.
  • Loss of revenue
  • Reputational damage to club and volunteer groundsmen

Equipment

  • Quadrat
  • Straight edge, wedge & spirit level.
  • Compass
  • 100 m surveyors measuring tape & pins.
  • Rising plate

Practical Tips

  • There are alternatives using readily available to complete these tasks rather than the expensive specialist equipment.
  • Allow 2 hours to complete all of these tasks and log results for complete records
