FOOTBALL FIELD DIMENSIONS AND LAYOUT

The total length of a football field is 120 yards. The playing field is 100 yards (360 feet) long. Each end zone is 10 yards (30 feet) deep. The field is marked with a yard line every 5 yards, and every 10 yards is marked by a field number.

LACROSSE FIELD DIMENSIONS AND LAYOUT

The dimensions for a lacrosse field are 110 yards min. to 140 yards max. long and can be from 60 yards to 70 yards wide. The goals are 90-100 yards apart with a playing area of 10-20 yards behind each goal. The length of the field is divided in half by a center line. An 18 ft. diameter circle is drawn around each goal and is known as the "crease. " A rectangle, 35 yards by 40 yards surrounds each goal area and is known as the "goal area." An "X" is marked in the center of the field. Since most Recreation Centers and/or Athletic Complexes in St Paul already have football fields, Soccer and Lacrosse will play on them and will be modify accordingly. On fields that do not have football fields established and the field will be lined specifically for Lacrosse, be sure to check with the Athletic office for the specific dimensions needed for the level of play that will be using the field.

The goal is 2 vertical posts 6 feet apart, joined by a top crossbar which is 6 feet from the ground (a 6'x6' goal). A line is drawn on the ground between the posts in order to indicate the plane of the goal. This line becomes known as the goal line. Attached to the goal is cord netting, which is fastened to the ground 7 feet behind the center of the goal.

BASKETBALL COURT DIMENSIONS AND LAYOUT

The overall size of a HS Basketball court is typically 84 feet long and 50 feet wide. Some JR HS courts will measure 74 feet long and 42 feet wide. St Paul uses many different size gymnasiums for it’s youth and adult basketball leagues. The Free Throw Line: For all courts (EXCEPT 10U) the “ free throw line” distance is 15 feet from the face of the backboard. In 10U it is 12 feet. The 3 foot difference is measured from the back of the 15 foot line to the back of the 12 foot line. 10U’s momentum may allow the player to go over the line on the throw but may not attack the basket until the ball hits the rim. 10U FT

SAND (BEACH) VOLLEYBALL COURT DIMENSIONS

Sand (Beach) Volleyball is played on a court measuring 8 m by 16 m, or approximately 26¼ ft. by 52½ ft, for doubles. This represents the court itself with no additional boundary to keep spectators back. For play with teams of three, four or six players, the area size increases to 14 m by 24 m, or approximately 46 ft. by 79 ft.

Side line(3)- The boundary line to either side of the volleyball court. Attack line(4)- The line that runs parallel to the net three meters from the net

Quarter Circles. A corner of each center line, a quarter circle shall be drawn from the side line to the center line with a radius of 3.0 feet measured and drawn outwards from the edge of the 3. foot radius. The Service Circle (SC). The service circle of 1 foot radius shall be drawn on the left and right court, the center of which is 8 feet from the back line of the court and 10 feet from the side boundary. The Service Circle is measured and drawn outward from the edge of the center of the 1 foot radius. Height of the Net. It should be 5 feet, 1 inch at the center. Height of the Posts. ISTAF regulations call for the posts to be 5'4". You can use the portable volleyball posts and secure the net to the desired 5"1" height. Free Area. An area of 6 feet outside the court boundaries should be free of obstacles.

All Sepak Takraw courts are standard in size and mostly are equal to: badminton court dimensions (see P13)

DIMENSIONS OF A BADMINTON COURT

A full-size regulation badminton court measures 20 feet in width and 44 feet in length. For singles' competitions, the width of the court is reduced to 17 feet with a 1-foot-6-inch "out of bounds" area inside each sideline ( )

P

TENNIS COURT DIMENSIONS

P

HOCKEY RINK DIMENSIONS

Most North American rinks follow the National Hockey League (NHL) specifications of 200 feet (61 m) × 85 feet (26 m) with a corner radius of 28 feet (8.5 m). The distance from the end boards to the nearest goal line is 11 feet (3.4 m).

HANDBALL COURT DIMENSIONS

Dimensions. The court is 20 feet wide, 20 feet high and 40 feet long. B. Lines and zones. Handball courts shall be divided and marked on the floors with 2-inch- wide lines. Recommended colors are white or red. The lines shall be marked as follows:

1. Short line. The short line is parallel to the front and back walls. Its outside edge is 20 feet from the front wall.
2. Service line. The service line is parallel to the short line and its outside edge is 5 feet in front of the outside of the short line.

Wall. The wall shall be 20 feet wide from the outside edge of one side line to the outside edge of the other side line, and 16 feet high, including any top line. Floor. The floor shall be 20 feet wide from the outside edges of the side lines. It shall be 34 feet from the wall to the outside edge of the long line. The side lines should extend at least three feet beyond the long line. There should also be a minimum of at least six feet, but ideally 20 feet, of floor beyond each side line as well as 16 feet beyond the long line to allow for playing space. Short line.

CRICKET

England has played Cricket for several centuries. The first recorded cricket match took place in Sussex, England in 1697. Cricket is played in a large open (usually circular or oblong) field and has two sides of eleven players that attempt to “put out” a “batsman” who tries to prevent a ball thrown by the “bowler” from knocking over “bails” placed on “wickets”, or three upright sticks. If the batsman makes contact with the ball, he runs to the opposite side of the “pitch” and continues running back and forth until the ball is retrieved by the opposing team.
