Layout Tool Instructions

First you should probably print out a copy of a standard

soccer field configuration from our web site.

The field is laid out north to south versus east to west.

What you are trying to stake out is all the 90 degree

intersections on the soccer field using the soccer
field layout calculator. To use the layout tool you
have to pull a string down the center of the soccer
field through the center of both of the goals. From the
known length of the field you have three points, both ends
that bisect the goals and the center of the field. To
mark out one half of the field you stake the ends of two
tape measures, one tape at one goal and the other tape
at the center of the field. Using the results from the
soccer calculator you pull the two tapes to lengths
specified depending on which 90 degree intersection
you need to stake. For example, using the information
on the soccer field layout tool template the four
corners of the goalie box would be (the measurement on
the left would be the tape measure that is staked in
the center of the goal and the right measurement listed
would for the tape measure staked at the center of the
field):

30' 0" 167' 8" -------------- 35' 0" | 150' 0"

We normally stake out three different size soccer fields.

Using the tool I plug in the numbers for each field
then save the results with a file name representing
the size of the field. Then I transpose the numbers
for each field on a separate a diagram sheet like the
one listed on our web site (see above). Once the
center line has been established for each field
and the associated three points staked one person can
walk around staking out the field using the annotated
diagram sheet and the two tape measures.
I hope this helps.

Changes:
9/19/2006 Update provide by Michael Mundrane, Rutgers
University
Precision of calculations maintained through complete
math process with rounding done at the last step.
4/27/2006 Update provided by Peter Luschenat, Vertex
Consulting, Middletown, CT
Layout Tool Tab
Column C, rows 11, 13 and 15 changed to INT fields
Column D, rows 11, 13 and 15 created inch fields
Column Q, rows 11 and 19 changed to INT fields
Column R, rows 11 and 19 created inch fields
These were modified and created to fix diagram tab
concatenations
The goal width -- placed it on the Layout tool tab, S5
and 6 for that calculation on the diagram tab. Also put
a blank diagram page on the excel doc.

Diagram Tab
Concatenated all measurements with ft and in signs.
Also made the color red for printing.
The goal box, Penalty box, 1/2 length and 1/2 width
fields were not set up if the number was odd. For
example if the person put in 125 feet wide, the
measurements would show up as decimal.

Plug in value into cell below each dimension. Stake out full length of field using center line of pitch/field
intersecting the goalie boxes. Use two measuring tapes, one pulled from Center Line Point at the middle of the field
and the other at the Center Point on the Goal Line. Intersections have two measurements listed in feet and inches or
just feet. Field Dimension Calcuator reflects the stake intersections for 1/4 of the soccer field.
