Sports Turf Association
22 December 2011
Sports fields play essential roles within communities all across Australia. However, a sports field is only as good as the turf it offers players. The Sports Turf Association is dedicated to providing education, information, knowledge and training for professional turf installers, as well as for those in the recreation and leisure industry.
The Sports Turf Association is a member of the Turfgrass Association of Australia, and remains dedicated to providing its members with networking opportunities, as well as training and education to help serve their customers better. Group memberships, student memberships and sponsor memberships are available through the association.
The Sports Turf Association is a national association of professionals with a presence throughout the nation. Offices are located in New South Wales, Queensland, Victoria, South Australia, Western Australia and the ACT region. One of the most important roles of the association is to provide members with information about turf management, growth, installation and new developments in the field, including irrigation and other related principles. To achieve these goals, the Sports Turf Association provides a range of educational and informational opportunities, including workshops, seminars and conferences held across the nation for professional development and adherence to industry standards.
Members of the association are also able to enjoy numerous other benefits, in addition to access to information and educational opportunities. For instance, members are eligible to receive several key industry publications for further information. Members are also eligible for discounts on seminar and workshop attendance. Perhaps the most important benefit is the ability to network with some of the most highly trained professionals in the nation. Through networking, professional turf grass managers can form relationships with other professionals and organizations in related fields, which can help them to provide their customers with better service, and solve a variety of issues.
