Section 3: Playing Area
Field Dimensions
- Rectangular field, 110 yards × 60 yards (a 70-yard width is also permissible where space allows under the 2026/27 rules)
- Center line dividing the field into two halves
- Two restraining lines, each 30 yards from the goal lines (sometimes referred to as the "30-yard arc" framework)
Goals and the Critical Scoring Area
- Two goals, 6 feet wide × 6 feet high, set 99 yards apart from end line to end line measure
- Goal circle (crease): 8.5-foot radius semi-circular goal circle around each goal
- 8-meter arc (free-position arc) extending from each goal line
- 12-meter fan extending farther from the goal
- 15-meter arc (in the critical scoring area; defined in the 2026/27 rules for specific situations)
- Center hash and adjacent hashes — relevant to free-position setups under the 2026 simplification
Draw Circle
Center circle of approximately 9-meter diameter (varies by published spec) at the center of the field; the draw is taken at the center hash by two opposing midfielders. Up to four other players from each team may stand on the center line outside the draw circle.
