Grounds

The Warwickshire Cricket Grounds Association exists to improve our pitches across the county and provide a space for like-minded individuals to share their experience and knowledge, benefiting the game as a whole.

 

Ground staff are fundamental to cricket. No other surface affects the game more than the cricket pitch, and our ground staff are vital to ensuring the enjoyment and safety of everyone who plays.

The Warwickshire Cricket Grounds Association (WCGA) works in partnership with individuals, suppliers, and agencies to develop both skilled groundskeepers and high-quality playing surfaces for all clubs, schools, and facilities affiliated with our Foundation.
