Field Dimensions & Build Out Line Format for 7v7

Please Note : Two fields to be lined at Purchase side by side on the lower field, I have adjusted the width dimension so we can have a bigger space in between the two fields (5yards if possible) 

-54 yards (length)

-38 yards (width)

-Goals should be no larger than 6.5 feet (height) x 18.5 feet (width)

-HYSC 7v7 (6x18.5) permanent goals x4 located at Purchase ES

-Build-out lines should be equidistant between the penalty area line and halfway line. The build-out lines may be of any color and must be on both sides of the field.

-(Sandbags)all goals should be anchored by sandbags – 3 sandbags per goal (i.e. 6 per field)

Build out line rules

-The build out line is used to promote playing the ball out of the back in an unpressured setting.

-When the goalkeeper has the ball, either during play or from a goal kick, the opposing team must move behind the build-out line.

-At any time, the goalkeeper may pass, throw or roll the ball to a teammate, but the goalkeeper does so accepting the positioning of the opponents and the consequences of how play resumes.

-Punts or drop-kicks are not allowed as this would defeat the purpose of the build-out line and reduces the opportunity to play out of the defending third in an unpressured setting.

-After the ball is put into play, the opposing team can then cross the build-out line and play resumes as normal
