402 Field of Play:
402.01 Dimensions: The field of play
consists of a 70 yd by 40 yd rectangle
(approximately 64 m x 37 m) called the playing
field, with a 25 yd by 40 yd rectangle
(approximately 23 m x 37 m) called an endzone
aligned along each of the 40 yd (37 m) sides. See
figure 4.1.
402.02 Surface: The playing field may have
any surface, although well trimmed grass is
suggested, which is essentially flat, free of
obstructions and holes, and affords reasonable
player safety.
402.03 Goal Lines: Goal lines are lines
which separate the playing field proper from the
endzones and are part of the playing field
proper.
402.04 Perimeter Lines: Perimeter lines
(sidelines and endlines) are lines separating the
playing field from the out-of-bounds area and are
not part of the playing field.
402.05 Markers: The corners of the playing
field proper and the
endzones are marked by cones made of a brightly
colored, flexible material.
402.06 Restraining
Line: A restraining line shall be established 5 m
from the playing field to ensure that the
sidelines remain clear during play.
402.07 Line Markings:
All lines shall be marked with a non-caustic
material and shall be between 2 in and 4 in
(approximately 5 cm and 10 cm) wide.
