DIMENSIONS
The field of play must be rectangular. The length of the touch
line must be greater than the length of the goal line.
Length: minimum 90 m (100 yds) maximum 120 m (130 yds)
Width: minimum 45 m (50 yds) maximum 90 m (100 yds)
PeeWee
Division: The length of the field will be 50 yds; the width
will be 30 yds.
MiniNovice Division: The length of
the field will be 60 yds; the width will be 40 yds.
Novice Division: The length of the
field will be 80 yds; the width will be 50 yds.
Senior Division: The length of the
field will be 80 yds; the width will be 50 yds.
INTERNATIONAL MATCHES
Length: minimum 100 m (110 yds) maximum 110 m (120 yds)
Width: minimum 64 m (70 yds) maximum 75 m (80 yds)
FIELD MARKINGS
The field of play is marked with lines. These lines belong
to the areas of which they are boundaries. The two longer
boundary lines are called touch lines. The two shorter lines
are called goal lines. All lines are not more than 12 cm (5
ins) wide. The field of play is divided into two halves by
a halfway line. The centre mark is indicated at the midpoint
of the halfway line. A circle with a radius of 9.15 m (10
yds) is marked around it.
PeeWee
Division: The center circle will have a radius of 5 yds.
MiniNovice Division: The center circle
will have a radius of 8 yds.
THE GOAL AREA
A goal area is defined at each end of the field as follows:
Two lines are drawn at right angles to the goal line, 5.5
m (6 yds) from the inside of each goalpost. These lines extend
into the field of play for a distance of 5.5 m (6 yds) and
are joined by a line drawn parallel with the goal line. The
area bounded by these lines and the goal line is the goal
area.
PeeWee
Division: The goal area will be 3 yds by 10 yds, centered
around the goal.
MiniNovice Division: The goal area
will be 4 yds by 16 yds, centered around the goal.
THE PENALTY AREA
A penalty area is defined at each end of the field as follows:
Two lines are drawn at right angles to the goal line, 16.5
m (18 yds) from the inside of each goalpost. These lines extend
into the field of play for a distance of 16.5 m (18 yds) and
are joined by a line drawn parallel with the goal line. The
area bounded by these lines and the goal line is the penalty
area. Within each penalty area a penalty mark is made 11 m
(12 yds) from the midpoint between the goalposts and equidistant
to them. An arc of a circle with a radius of 9.15 m (10 yds)
from each penalty mark is drawn outside the penalty area.
PeeWee
Division: The penalty area will be 11 yds by 26 yds.
MiniNovice Division: The penalty area
will be 14 yds by 36 yds.
FLAGPOSTS
A flagpost, not less than 1.5 m (5 ft) high, with a non-pointed
top and a flag is placed at each corner. Flagposts may also
be placed at each end of the halfway line, not less than 1m
(1 yd) outside the touch line.
THE
CORNER ARC
A quarter circle with a radius of 1 m (1 yd) from each corner
flagpost is drawn inside the field of play.
GOALS
Goals must be placed on the centre of each goal line. They
consist of two upright posts equidistant from the corner flagposts
and joined at the top by a horizontal crossbar. The distance
between the posts is 7.32 m (8 yds) and the distance from
the lower edge of the crossbar to the ground is 2.44 m (8ft).
Both goalposts and the crossbar have the same width and depth
which do not exceed 12 cm (5 ins). The goal lines are the
same width as that of the goalposts and the crossbar. Nets
may be attached to the goals and the ground behind the goal,
provided that they are properly supported and do not interfere
with the goalkeeper. The goalposts and crossbars must be white.
PeeWee
Division: The distance between the goal posts will be 6
yds.
MiniNovice Division: The distance
between the goal posts will be 6 yds.
SAFETY
Goals must be anchored securely to the ground. Portable goals
may only be used if they satisfy this requirement.
