Best Answer

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.

How do you position soccer players on the field?

There are 4 "jobs" a soccer player can have. They can be the goalie who is guarding the net at the end of the field, they can be a defender who are positioned in front of the goalie's box, a midfielder who is positioned in front of the defense, or a forward/attacker who is positioned in front of the midfielders. The 2 most popular ways to place a soccer team are 4 defence, 4 midfield, 2 forwards AND 4 defence, 3 midfield, 3 forwards (there is also the goalie, which there can only be 1 of).

If a attacker is taking a shot at the goal how many people is allowed in the goalie box?

Do you mean in a set kick, a pk, or just regular play and he is taking a shot. In a set kick or regular play every player on the field can be in the goalie box. If it is during a pk then only the shooter and the goalie can be in the box at first while all the other players have to be on the outside of the box until the ball is kicked.
