The Tennessee Valley Sports Turf Managers Association (TVSTMA) is a group of
people located throughout Northern Alabama, Southern Kentucky and Tennessee.
This group consists of groundskeepers, park and recreation directors, turfgrass managers,
maintenance personnel, commercial members and anyone interested in turfgrass and the
ability to make fields playable and safe. The TVSTMA is the local chapter of the Sports
Turf Managers Association (STMA), which is a national organization. The TVSTMA is a
non-profit organization that, through the use of educational and on-field seminars, allows
members to receive knowledge regarding turfgrass and any subjects that are related to
athletics. The TVSTMA welcomes any person who wants to gain knowledge about athletic
fields and how to manage them to make them safe and playable.
The TVSTMA was formed in 1997 through a collective effort of professional people
who had a desire to increase the knowledge base about sports fields. Through this
organization, the TVSTMA chapter was formed, and thus, the chapter became recognized
on the national level. This chapter has grown from 35 members to over 100 members as of
2007. With an increasing presence in the communities located throughout the tri-state area,
and in conjunction with the Tennessee Turfgrass Association, the TVSTMA is a growing
chapter. We would like to encourage all members to stay actively involved in the field and
educational seminars.
