One of the worst mistakes a recreational league can make is to have teams playing on oversized fields. The reason is simple: on a smaller field the players will have more touches & more fun. The field size should be proportionate to the player size, and recreational teams should play on smaller fields than select teams. If a field is too large, recreational players will spend most of their time running & will be worn out by half-time. When players are tired & playing on an overly large field, it is easy for the game to degenerate to long kicks. It is also more difficult to teach tactics & team play, such as support, on an overly large field. Smaller fields are much better suited to players who are average athletes, are slower, or lacking stamina, as are 50% to 75% of all recreational players. How large should the field be? If an adult over-30 novice recreational team plays on a 60-yard x 100-yard field (most play on this size or smaller because it is more fun), then youth recreational teams should play on proportionately sized fields. The size of youth fields should be based on the size of the step and the length of the kick of each age group relative to adults. For example, if a 12-year old's step is about 80% that of an adult, then the field size should be 80% of the adult size, or about 50-yards x 80-yards. Dimensions for recreational teams might be as below: Age (% Adult Size)Field Size (in yards)U-14 (100%)60 x 100U-12 (80%)50 x 80U-10 (70%)40 x 70*U-8 (50%)25 x 50*U-6 (25%)15 x 30

What is the length diagonal of a Soccer field?

The length of the diagonal of a soccer field can be calculated using the Pythagorean theorem, as the field is rectangular. A standard soccer field's dimensions can vary, but the length typically ranges from 100 to 110 meters and the width from 64 to 75 meters. For a field measuring 105 meters long and 68 meters wide, the diagonal would be approximately 127.4 meters. Thus, the diagonal length can vary based on the specific dimensions of the field.


What is a soccer dimension?

A soccer field's dimension varies according to the age. The length can be anywhere from 100-130 ft and the width can be anywhere from 60-100 ft. A soccer field cannot be square though so if the length of the field is only100ft the width must be a maximum of 99ft. A professional soccer field is usually 60-120 or 70-130.
