The 'little box' in front of the goalie is called the goal area. It is 6 yards wide by 20 yards long. (8 yards from goal post to goal post and 6 yards on each side of the goal post)
The next area outside the goal area is the penalty area. It is 18 yards wide by 44 yards long. (8 yards from goal post to goal post and 18 yards on each side of the goal post)
These sizes are for a professional soccer field. As the age of the players diminishes so does the field size as well as the field markings.
