U8 Field Layout
This page contains examples of what a properly marked soccer field looks like.
If you have volunteered or have been "volunteered" to do field setup for your
child's team, then the on-line field layout calculator will enable you to
correctly measure, layout and paint your assigned field.
Normally, the designated home team for the first match of the day will be
responsible for painting the field, with the designated visting team
responsible for setting up the goals and corner flags.
Note: All of our fields are initially setup by experienced region
volunteers. New volunteers are always welcome. Unless there has been extreme
weather and the lines are no longer visible, you should never have to actually
layout a field. If you are painting a field, paint the "yellow" lines shown in
the image. You may use white, blue, or yellow paint. |

Square the field. Choose a starting corner. Lay out a tape measure for the width of the field. Lay out a second tape measure from the same starting point for the length of the field. Using a third tape measure, measure the distance from the 40 foot mark on the "length" tape measure to the 30 foot mark on the "width" tape measure.
Adjust either the direction of the "length" or "width" tape measure until the distance between the two points is exactly 50 feet. When this is accomplished, the corner is a right angle and square.
Repeat this check for each of the four corners. |
