ROOM FOR THE GAME

From the full field
to local club grounds.

Full-size format

The complete field

The full-size Campball field is 100 × 48 metres. Its markings support the sequence of formations, transitions and scoring routes explained in the Rules guide.

Planning a venue also means considering the space around play, access and the arrangements needed to host players and spectators.

In preparation

Smaller-ground options

Smaller-size specifications are planned for local club grounds, with dimensions, markings and any changes to the playing format set out together.

These options are not yet published. A smaller field should not be treated as a scaled-down full-size layout without the accompanying rules.

THINK BEYOND THE TOUCHLINE

A place to play.
A place to belong.

A good matchday needs more than the playing area. These are the practical conversations to have when exploring a ground.

Space around play

Consider the surrounding space for players, officials and spectators, with a clear separation between the playing area and people watching. The detailed specification will set out required clearances.

Ground & equipment

Review the surface, markings, posts, padding and game equipment against the applicable field and event requirements before play.

Access & facilities

Consider arrival, accessible routes, toilets, changing arrangements and space for teams and officials. Check what a proposed venue can provide.

Permission & matchday arrangements

Agree use with the landowner or venue operator and establish who is responsible for preparation, inspections, welfare and emergency arrangements.
