More than twenty years since inception, the Sports Turf Association continues to promote safe, natural sports turf through education and professional development. The STA was conceived in 1987, when, at a "brain storming" session held at the University of Guelph, a broad segment of the turf industry endorsed its need. Of particular concern at that meeting was the need to minimize and avoid injury to participants using athletic facilities where they relate to sports turf. The STA celebrated 20 years in 2007.
