Field Set Up Instructions

Field Set Up Instructions 

Setting up a field takes about 10 minutes, so please arrive early to ensure everything is ready on time. The teams playing after you will appreciate it!

6U - 8U Games  (2020-2017 birth years)

  • Use portable pop-up goals (Puggs) for your game. Your coach should have them, just ask them as you and your player come up.

  • Set them up before your game and remove them immediately after your game ends.

10U+ Games (2016 and older birth years)

  • Each field will have a set of 4' x 6' goals for games provided at the field for use.

10U+ Field Setup:
  1. Locate the game goals  (smaller 4x6 that are either blue or orange) at your field. They will be stored inside the larger goals in a "clam-shelled" position.

  2. Move the game goals to the center of the end lines.

  3. Assemble the goals using the provided setup guide: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WpgXayOqMxc&t=2s

  4. Remember that NO PLAYERS can be involved with setting up or taking down goals - keep all players away from the goals when you work with the goals, to avoid injury.  

10U+ Field Tear-Down:
  1. Move the game goals back inside the larger goals.

  2. "Clam shell" the larger goals around them—position them facing each other, as shown in the reference photo below.

  3. Secure the setup by placing locks around the vertical posts of each goal.

  4. Remember that NO PLAYERS can be involved with setting up or taking down goals - keep all players away from the goals when you work with the goals, to avoid injury. 

Thank you for helping keep our fields organized and ready for play!





The teams with the first game on the schedule are responsible for setting up the field.
The teams with the last game on the schedule are responsible for taking the field down. In general, if you don't see a team warming up, better to tear down the field!

Remember that NO PLAYERS can be involved with setting up or taking down goals - keep all players away from the goals when you work with the goals, to avoid injury. 






Goal post alignment


 

Goal post alignment: “The plane of the back edge of the post must be aligned with the plane of the outside edge of the goal line.” — USSF’s Advice to Referees, section 1.3
