One record is staked or held at the Center Line Point at the middle of the field and pulled to the associated intersection points. The other record is staked or held at the Middle Signal on the Goal Line (betwixt the goal posts).

What Our Customers Say:

"The field mark tool is fabulous. I can't believe we used to lay out our fields any other mode. It easily cuts layout time down to a third of what it was. You lot can as well practice the task with only 3 people and there is no arguing like before."
- Bill in Massachusetts

"I capeesh the unlike methodology that is used. I take always marked a goal line offset, then found the center & triangulated off that to where the center line meets the impact lines. I and then triangulated off the heart of the goal with various points on the goal line (goal box & punishment area) to discover the PK & corners of the boxes not plant on the goal line. I think your system is easier & perhaps more accurate."
- Bruce in Washington

"The template stops all arguments and saves a tremendous amount of time each flavour. I like the simplicity and the accurateness that it provides. I have non found a more logical way or a method that requires fewer steps to get that chore done. One of the bonuses of this system is that if the permanent goal standards are non correctly set, the field volition still come out with the all-time possible configuration than using whatever other method."
- Ken in Missouri

"I have to layout anywhere from 20 to 30 fields twice each year. The layouts that used to have a team of people hours to consummate can at present exist done in less than xxx-45 minutes by 1 person. I dearest it! AYSO Region 300, in the western suburbs of Chicago. Nosotros provide a soccer programme for ii,500 - iii,000 players ranging in age from under v through high school.
- Kevin in Chicago

"The thought of no more stretching 300' tapes everywhere, Awesome! This tool is the all-time. My partner and I laid out and painted 3 fields in the same time it took a team of 3 to practice 1 field."
- David in the State of Washington

"I lay out fields for an American Youth Soccer Arrangement league. For regular flavour this involves 19 or so fields and must be laid out in a two calendar week period. This method really helps. I have used the 'sum of squares' method using 3 tapes, equally well as surveying instruments. As well, used to take 1 or two others to assist. With this method I can practise the whole process by myself. I would say that with the former methods I could exercise a field: layout, mark and pigment in about xc minutes. With your method it is only under an hour! Layout of 1/2 of the field makes the other 1/2 much easier. I brand a sail for each historic period group and field size we need and use that every bit a guide. Also, I have the programme on a portable computer for any changes. I also use a unproblematic GPS Gamin Etrex to locate heart of field and eye of goal line."
- Doug in California
