May is a busy month for a groundsman. Pitch preparations for different sports and line marking will be well underway.

With this in mind, in today’s blog post, we’d like to highlight a useful and topical resource provided by The FA.

Aimed at those running a football club, “The FA Guide to Pitch and Goalpost Dimensions” contains a wide range of information that answers many common questions regarding pitch layouts/dimensions and goal sizes for the many different formats of the game.

This useful guide also contains important sections on goal post safety and line marking.
