WSFMA Winter Conference and Annual Meeting

Join us for a day of sports field education. We’ll look at the basics of field management, the future is NOW when it comes to robotics, and your relationships with those you work with and for.

Fertilization Fundamentals
Dr. Doug Soldat University of Wisconsin Madison. 
Fertilization is one of the most important aspects of maintaining a sports field. This talk will cover the basics of fertilization, including soil testing, timing, rates, technologies, and regulatory restrictions.

Groundskeeper Guide to Working with Coaches and Administrators
Kyle Slaton WSFMA President Elect
This talk includes tips from one groundskeeper’s two decades of experience working with coaches and administrators. Topics will include professionalism, gaining trust, and working as a team.

Robotics Roundtable
Field Managers are using robotic painters and mowers with great success. Find out more from those who are using them! This is interactive, so bring your questions or concerns.

Field Readiness
The biggest challenge to field managers is convincing the Athletic directors and coaches that the field isn’t playable due to weather or construction. The WSFMA has developed guidelines for you to use when these challenges arise.
