Field Hockey - Official Publication of the A. F. H #228049

The dimensions of the regulation hockey field are 100 yards in length by not less than 50 yards nor more than 60 yards in breadth. This space must be marked out with lime lines and with a flag at each corner. Care must be taken that the angles are right angles. The longer lines are called the side lines and the shorter ones the goal lines. Across the ground 50 yards from each goal line is marked the center line,' with a cross ill the center. Each half of the ground is again divided by a line called the 25-yard line. Five yards inside each side line is marked a line, parallel with the side line; this is called the 5 — yard line.
