Soccer Side Line


(aka “Touch Line”). The long sides of the field. Length will vary by age group & your club rules. (See “Field Diagram“).


Soccer Penalty Box Arc


(aka The “D”). See “Penalty Box“, “Field Diagram” & “D“.


Soccer Penalty Box


(aka Penalty Area, “Box” or “Eighteen”). The large box in front of the soccer goal in which the goalkeeper can touch the soccer ball with hands. The half circle at the top of this box is the Penalty Box Arc. Size will vary by age group & your soccer club rules. On adult sized soccer fields, the Penalty Box extends 18 yards from the Goal Line into the soccer field. For dimensions go to “Laws of the Game” at www.fifa.com. (See “Field Diagram“, “Eighteen“, “Box” & “Penalty Box Arc“).


Soccer Halfway Line


The line across the middle of the length of the field that splits it into two halves. (See “Field Diagram“).


Soccer Goal Box


(aka “Goal Area” or “Six”). The small box in front of the goal within which the ball must be placed to take a goal kick. (The ball can also be placed on the line). Size will vary by age group & your soccer club’s rules. On adult sized fields the Goal Box extends six yards from the Goal and Goal Line into the field and for this reason it is sometimes referred to as the “Six”. For dimensions go to “Laws of the Game” at www.fifa.com. (See “Field Diagram“).

Soccer End Lines


(aka Soccer Goal Lines) The soccer lines that define the ends of the soccer field. Length will vary by age group & your club rules. (See “Field Diagram”). Coaches & spectators are supposed to stand along the side lines, not behind the end soccer lines because it is too distracting.
