“American football (known as football in the United States and gridiron in some other countries) is a sport played by two teams of eleven players on a rectangular field 120 yards long by 53.33 yards wide with goalposts at each end. The offense attempts to advance an oval ball (the football) down the field by running with or passing it. They must advance it at least ten yards in four downs to receive a new set of four downs and continue the drive; if not, they turn over the football to the opposing team. Most points are scored by advancing the ball into the opposing team’s end zone for a touchdown or kicking the ball through the opponent’s goalposts for a field goal. The team with the most points at the end of a game wins. ” [American football. Wikipedia]

“Football games are played on a rectangular field that measures 120 yards (110 m) long and 53.33 yards (48.76 m) wide. Lines marked along the ends and sides of the field are known respectively as the end lines and side lines, and goal lines are marked 9 yards (8.2 m) outward from each end line. Weighted pylons are placed on the inside corner of the intersections of the goal lines and end lines.
White markings on the field identify the distance from the end zone. Inbound lines, or hash marks, are short parallel lines that mark off 1 yard (0.91 m) increments. Yard lines, which run the width of the field, are marked every 5 yards (4.6 m). A line one yard wide is placed at each end of the field. This line is marked at the center of the two-yard line in professional play and at the three-yard line in college play. Numerals that display the yard lines in multiples of ten are placed along both sides of the field.
Goalposts are at the center of the plane of each of the two end lines. The crossbar of these posts is ten feet (3 meters) above the ground, with vertical uprights at the end of the crossbar 18 feet 6 inches (6 m) apart for professional and collegiate play and 23 feet 4 inches (7 m) apart for high school play. The uprights extend vertically 10 yards on professional fields, a minimum of 10 yards on college fields, and a minimum of ten feet on high school fields. Goal posts are padded at the base, and orange ribbons are normally placed at the tip of each upright. ” [American football. Wikipedia]

Safety floor coverings made of painted rubber crumb are successfully used for arranging indoor gyms and playgrounds intended for playing volleyball, mini-football, badminton, basketball, handball. The final stage of the installation of the anti-slip coating is the implementation of a standardized marking of the playing area.
All lines must be performed in strict accordance with the current regulations, which are established by the international federations of the respective sports. The gym area itself should be flat, the surface should be hard and uniform. Any unevenness in the form of protruding parts, depressions, cracks, etc. not allowed.
What paint is used
If a special multi-colored marking tape on a self-adhesive basis can be used to mark the floors of sports halls on linoleum, then in the case of rubber seamless floors, 2-component polyurethane compounds of foreign production are used. Such paints are prepared in compliance with the technology by mixing the two components immediately before application.
Unlike one-component paints, polyurethane coatings remain plastic even after complete drying, therefore they do not peel off when the rubber base is deformed.
The two-component composition has excellent adhesion, the paint fits well and is fixed monolithically over a long period of intensive use of the site. The marking made with polyurethane paint does not fade and is not erased under significant loads. The paint is safe, because after a few hours after complete drying, the solvent and other toxic products do not remain in the composition.
When zoning a playing field with a rubber coating, it is possible to use integrated markings using pigmented (colored) rubber crumb.
Features of marking the playing field
The coloring composition has a dense structure, which avoids smudges. Subject to the application technology, the lines are smooth and clear. The main colors for drawing borders are white, light gray, yellow, red and blue.
Often, when arranging a gym on one sports ground, markings are applied simultaneously for different sports, for example, for football and basketball. In such cases, to avoid confusion, a 2-component paint of the same composition is used, but in different colors.
Since the composition based on polyurethane polymerizes quickly, the paint is stirred in a small amount that can be used up within two hours. The optimum air temperature for working with paint is 18-25 degrees, humidity is not more than 65%. Painting is carried out after careful preparation of the base, cleaning and drying of the surface of the site.
The lines are applied in accordance with the scheme, manually using a special roller. If the lines are long and the delivery time of the object is limited, then specialized marking machines are often used for marking.
In an open area, work on creating field boundaries is carried out in clear weather. Application of the coating on a damp substrate is not permitted. For embossed surfaces, the contours of future lines should be pre-glued to prevent paint from flowing beyond the borders.
Gym marking requirements
- All lines must stand out against the main background. More often, white or light gray paint is used to decorate school gyms.
- The boundaries must be clearly visible from any point on the playing field.
- The width of the marking lines when creating a playing field for volleyball, handball, basketball should be 50 mm, for badminton – 40 mm, for mini-football – 80 mm.
- Marking lines are subjected to intense mechanical stress during operation, so the paint must be wear-resistant.
- Sites for official events must be marked according to the standards; for small school and amateur gyms, scaling the marking down is allowed.
- At the stage of designing a sports field, it should be taken into account that for most sports it is necessary to provide an auxiliary space outside the main field of the playing field.
Sports markings
For each sport, there are agreed standards for the dimensions of the playing field, the color and width of the markings, approved by the relevant sports federations. School gyms are often too small for standard markings – in this case, they resort to scaling, i.e. to reduce the format in proportion to the size of the hall.
Volleyball
The requirements for the arrangement of the volleyball field are approved by the standard of the International Volleyball Federation (FIVB). The standard dimensions of a volleyball field are as follows: length – 18 m, width – 9 m.
Basketball
The requirements for the organization of a basketball court in an indoor gym are approved by the standard of the International Basketball Federation. The site should be flat with a hard surface, there should be no bends, cracks or other obstacles. The standard dimensions of a basketball field are 16×28 meters.
Badminton
The requirements for the preparation of a badminton court are approved by the Badminton World Federation (BWF) standard. The game takes place on a rectangular field measuring 13.4 x 5.18 meters.
Handball
The requirements for the marking of the handball court are approved by the International Handball Federation (IHF) standard. The standard dimensions of a handball field are as follows: length – 40 m, width – 20 m. Colors used: orange, red, yellow.
Futsal (FIFA Futsal)
Futsal is played on a sports ground 25 to 42 meters long and 16 to 25 meters wide. International matches are played on a court 38-42 meters long and 20-25 meters wide. Used colors: orange, red.
Instructions for laying artificial grass (for football field)
Artificial grass

- Football pitch synthetic turf rolls must be unloaded with the utmost care to prevent damage to packaging and artificial turf.
- The most convenient device for unloading rolls is a forklift with a pin attachment. The pin must be at least 3 m long and no more than 10 cm in diameter. Using a fork mechanism can damage the lawn.
- It is recommended to place the rolls during unloading according to the drawing on a level, flat place, free of debris, knots, stones, etc.
- Artificial turf can be installed on a solid base (asphalt) or on a sand and gravel base. In both cases, it is recommended to use a substrate, which is a smooth, elastic and durable material with a thickness of 0.8-1 cm. It is not recommended to use thinner materials to avoid bends and uneven surfaces of artificial turf.
- After the underlay has been installed, the rolls must be unrolled according to the layout of the field. After rolling, the artificial turf needs to rest for at least 10 hours to relieve internal stresses caused by storing the artificial turf in a roll.
- Artificial turf sheets must be laid with an overlap of at least 15 mm. Each roll of artificial turf must then be trimmed so that the rolls match end-to-end.
- Before gluing artificial turf rolls, make sure that all sheets lie flat, there are no wrinkles on the field, all sheets fit snugly together, the edges of each of the sheets are cut.
- The gluing of the sheets must be carried out immediately after cutting the edges in order to avoid changes in the linear dimensions of the sheets caused by daily temperature changes. Gluing is carried out by means of a connecting tape and two-component glue. The tape width is 250-300 mm. The width of the applied adhesive strip is 200-250 mm. Glue consumption is 350-550 g/p.m.
- Bonding should be carried out as follows: unscrew the edges of the sheets, lay the connecting tape so that the joint of the sheets falls in the middle of the tape, apply glue to the tape with a spatula or special tools, lift all artificial grass fibers that have fallen into the seam until the moment when the glue sets, carefully lower the edges of the sheets and press them firmly against the connecting tape, roll all the seams with a roller.
- If not all marking lines are sewn on the field, it is necessary to carry out the procedure for sewing in a marking line on the field. This procedure is carried out only after the complete gluing of the artificial turf.
- To sew in the marking line, it is necessary to – cut strips 10-11 cm wide inside the field with a special tool with a double blade to prepare the places for sewing in the marking, lay the connecting tape inside, apply glue to the connecting tape with a spatula or a special tool, carefully insert the marking line . Care must be taken to ensure that no glue gets on the marking line fibers to avoid staining the colored marking fibers.
- The next step in laying artificial turf is sanding the artificial grass. For backfilling, quartz, rolled, calcined sand of various fractions is used. The most common in use is quartz sand with a fraction of 0.3-0.6 mm. Dust-like fractions are not allowed. The amount and fraction of sand depends on the type of artificial grass.
