Ground Grading For Each Step In The Pyramid

The FA has been working in consultation with leagues in the National League System to produce a standardised National Ground Grading Document covering ground grading requirements at each 'step' of the National League System.

Each Step in the pyramid has an entry level and a membership level. Effectively this means that if you gain promotion from Step 6 to Step 5 you would have to meet all the requirements in the ground grading documents for Grade F (Entry level) and then through the course of the season ensure that improvements are made to meet the criteria for Grade E (membership Level).

Each of the ground grading documents for Grades B- G can be downloaded opposite and Grade A will be available in due course.

Grade A- Step 1
Grade B- Step 2
Grade C- Step 3
Grade D - Step 4
Grade E - Step 5
Grade F - Step 6
Grade G - Step 7
