Field layout

Your field, in tape readings.

Pick the sport, set the size, and get a crew sheet: how to square the corners, where every mark goes, how much line you will paint. Free, no account.

Scale drawing. Corner A is bottom left; the near side (A to B) is the side you measure from. The dashed line is the A to C diagonal.
  1. 1

    Set corner A and the near side

    Before you stake, ask the field owner or park office for permission to mark the ground, and call 811 before driving anything deeper than a surface pin.

    Drive a stake at A. Pull a tape along the near side and set B at 55.00 m. Run a string from A to B.

  2. 2

    Swing the diagonals

    Hook one tape at A and one at B. Where 27.00 m from B meets 61.27 m from A, set C. Where 27.00 m from A meets the same diagonal from B, set D.

  3. 3

    Check the box

    C to D must read 55.00 m, and B to D must equal A to C. If not, a corner is off: re-swing before you paint anything.

  4. 4

    Mark everything else

    Use the readings below: two tapes from the corners at that end, or walk along the near side and square in.
