How it works
Visible sideline markers identify the goal lines, centre line and points four and six metres from each goal line. Goal lines and sidelines are marked by floating lane ropes, with a gap around the goal for the goalkeeper. The six-metre area affects several contact and penalty decisions.
In a game
A coach points out the six-metre markers before a drill.
Remember
The six-metre area affects several contact and penalty decisions.
