PitchPower
Putting the power in your hands.
PitchPower is our game-changing web app that allows you to quickly and easily inspect your grass pitch(es) directly from your mobile phone. Use the app to submit information about your pitch to the experts at the Grounds Management Association who assess the site without needing to make a visit. After the assessment is complete, you'll receive a report straight to your inbox which will tell you exactly what you need to do to improve your pitch.
You must complete a PitchPower inspection before applying for any grass pitch funding.
