Groundsman of the Year

The nomination process for Groundsman of the Year will be open soon!

Each year we look for nominations for grounds men and women in the County, those whom work tirelessly to ensure we have a pitch to play the game.The Award recognises the contribution of these unsung heroes of the grassroots game and aims to encourage the development of groundsmanship.

Each County FA will be collating nominations and will then submit their top three applications to The FA to be in contention to win the national Award. Nottinghamshire County FA's groundsman of the year is supported via a partnership with Fleet (Line Markers) Ltd who will supply prizes to the top 3 county winners.
