Kinder fields are laid out within a larger soccer field. The kinder fields are measured along the touchline of the larger field, and extend lengthwise into the field.
Needed to Layout the Field - 3 people
- 3 tapes
- 3 colors of paint, 6 cans of each
Procedure - To mark the corners of the fields, choose one goal line of the larger field to be your base.
- Lay a tape measure along each touchline from the base to the other end of the field, leaving them in place.
- Take a third tape measure and lay it on the base.
- The three people will move the tape along the base up the field, one marking at a time, until done
- one person at each end of the base tape, one person in the middle
- the persons at the end of the base tape, mark the spot just outside the touchline
- The person in the middle marks the two spots which are the corner of the two fields
- The persons on each end of the base tape move the tape to the next marking point, as shown in the table to the right
| Marks along the touchline for each field are calculated here. A printable card is attached. | Field | Yards | Feet | | 1 | 0 | 0 | | | 15 | 45 | | | | | | 2 | 16 | 48 | | | 31 | 93 | | | | | | 3 | 32 | 96 | | | 47 | 141 | | | | | | 4 | 48 | 144 | | | 63 | 189 | | | | | | 5 | 64 | 192 | | | 79 | 237 | | | | | | 6 | 80 | 240 | | | 95 | 285 | | | | | | 7 | 96 | 288 | | | 111 | 333 |
