The Field

 

                         

 

Dimensions:

  • A scoring area called an end zone extends 10 yards beyond each goal line to each end line.
  • Yard lines cross the field every 5 yards.
    • These lines are numbered every 10 yards from each goal line to the 50-yard line, or midfield.
  • Two rows of lines, known as hash marks, parallel the side lines are near the middle of the field.
    • All plays start with the ball on or between the hash marks.
  • At the back of each end zone are two goal posts (also called uprights) that are 24 feet in high school. The posts are connected by a crossbar 10 feet (305 cm) from the ground.
