It depends on the rules of the particular kind of football. A soccer pitch is between 7700 and 9600 square yards. That's between 1.6 and 1.98 acres. A Canadian Football Field (including end zones) is slightly larger, at 9750 square yards, or 2.01 acres, and an American Football Field (including end zones) is 6400 square yards or 1.32 acres. A Rugby League field (including end zones) is between 7616 square metres and 8296 square metres or between 1.88 and 2.05 acres

What is the distance between the goal posts in afl?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

The distance between the goal posts is officially 7 yards; so that is 21 feet.

In metric that is 6.4 metres.

The width of the goal posts themselves is not official, so this might vary; but the rule states that at lest the bottom 2 metres of each post must be padded as protection. In some grounds, the base of the posts can be even 8 or 9 inches thick due to the padding.

When the ball carrier is tackled and does not pass ball to teammate or the ball is out of bounds, the play is called a scrum, and the yard line where the last play was downed is called the line of scrimmage. -----
In American football, draw a line from sideline to sideline where the ball is put into play on each down and that is the line of scrimmage.

What is the rationale behind disallowing forward laterals?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

There's no such thing as a "forward lateral"--that's a contradiction in terms. If you throw the ball to another player who is closer to the opposing end zone than you are--even if he's only closer by one step--that's a forward pass. If you throw the ball to another player who isn't closer to the opposing end zone than you are--a player who is even with you or behind you--that's a lateral.

If there was no prohibition against 'forward laterals' then the game would become simply a game of 'keep away', with players routinely tossing the ball to any available teammate anywhere on the field. Then what do you do with the 'pass interference' rule? If a player gets blocked just before he's tossed the ball, would we award him 15 yards and a first down?

Allowing a 'forward lateral' would fundamentally change the nature of the game.
