This circle is used so that other players on both teams (other than the 2 players in the centre doing the kick off) must stand at least 10 yards away from the centre spot where the ball starts off at the kick off. It is a circle so that it can easily be seen where 10 yards is, because 10 yards is the radius.

It's to make sure the opposition is at least 10 yards away from the ball at kick-off and restarts. This is the same reason for the D adjoining the penalty area.
