Meet CFSTMA

Our Vision:

To provide safe, playable, and aesthetically pleasing sports surfaces for all users.

Our Mission:

To give members a vehicle to network with industry peers for education purposes to develop the theory and understanding of sports turf management and advance the art and science of managing that process. The chapter will accomplish this purpose, operate exclusively without profit and in cooperation with the national Sports Field Management Association and shall not take any public position contrary to that of the association.

Meetings with CEUs are located in rotating regions of Central Florida.

It’s The Perfect Fit

Central Florida Sports Turf Managers Association members are local sports turf professionals who share practical and research based maintenance practices to maintain high quality and safe playing fields. CFSTMA is one of three Chapters in the State, with the North and South Chapters. All State Chapters have reciprocal memberships agreements. Joining one Chapter allows participation in all State Chapters. The State Chapters are affiliates of the National Sports Field Management Association (SFMA). However, joining the National SFMA does NOT include membership to a State Chapter.

What Our Members Are Saying

CFSTMA has instilled in me that I am not in this alone! But there are others in our industry who have been there and can offer advice and have experienced the same problems and concerns. A network of experts who I (we) can lean upon, build relationships and offer solutions to add to our tool box. There are industry vendors which can supply relief through services and or equipment they offer.

City of Apopka | Athletics Manager

Overall, the CFSTMA has helped me with my best management practices, safety awareness and networking. This local chapter is involved and cares about it’s community. I will continue to be involved and hope to one day to give the knowledge to others in our field as the CFSTMA has shared with me.

Clayton Paulk

Orange County | Senior Foreman

When I moved to Florida, I immediately connected with CFSTMA and began to make connections here in Florida and eventually becoming a CFSTMA Board member. As you know, it takes time and a commitment to make connections in this industry. I have put myself out there to do just that for both my own professional career and also for the betterment of the sports turf industry.

Volusia County | Parks Operations Manager

I know as I go forward and keep going as a registered CFSTMA, I will be able to add to my resume and keep my quality as a worker at a high level. I will keep on the cutting edge of technology to stay more efficient.
