1.4 Circles:
a lines 3.66 metres long and parallel to the back-lines are marked inside the
field with their centres in line with the centres of the back-lines; the
distance from the outside edges of these 3.66 metres lines to the outside
edges of the back-lines is 14.63 metres
b these lines are continued in uninterrupted arcs in both directions to meet
the back-lines in the form of quarter-circles with centres at the inside front
corner of the nearer goal-posts
c the 3.66 metres line and the arcs are called the circle-lines; the spaces
enclosed by these lines, including the lines themselves, are called the
circles
d broken lines are marked with their outer edges 5 metres from the outer
edge of each circle-line; each broken line starts with a solid section at the
top centre of the circle-line and each solid section is 300 mm long with
gaps between the solid sections 3 metres long
These broken lines became mandatory for international matches with
effect from 1 June 2000. Their adoption for other matches is at the
discretion of National Associations.

1.5 Goals:
a two vertical goal-posts joined by a horizontal cross-bar are placed at the
centre of each back-line on the external marks
b the goal-posts and cross-bar are white, rectangular in cross section, 50
mm wide and between 50 mm and 75 mm deep
c the goal-posts must not extend vertically beyond the cross-bar and the
cross-bar must not extend horizontally beyond the goal-posts
d the distance between the inner edges of the goal-posts is 3.66 metres and
the distance from the lower edge of the cross-bar to the ground is 2.14
metres
e the space outside the field, behind the goal-posts and cross-bar and
enclosed by the net, side-boards and backboard is a minimum of 0.90metres deep at the cross-bar and a minimum of 1.22 metres deep at
ground-level.
1.6 Side-boards and back-boards:
a side-boards are 1.22 metres long and 460 mm high
b back-boards are 3.66 metres long and 460 mm high
c side-boards are positioned on the ground at right angles to the back-line
and are fixed to the back of the goal-posts without increasing their width
d back-boards are positioned on the ground at right angles to the sideboards
and parallel to the back-line, and are fixed to the end of the sideboards
e side-boards and back-boards are of a dark colour on the inside.
1.7 Nets:
a the maximum mesh size is 45 mm
b attachment to the back of the goal-posts and cross-bar is at intervals of not
more than 150 mm
c the nets hang outside the side-boards and back-board
d the nets are secured so as to prevent the ball passing between the net and
the goal-posts, cross-bar, side-boards and back-boards
e the nets are fitted loosely to prevent the ball rebounding.
1.8 Flag-posts:
a flag-posts are between 1.20 and 1.50 metres in height
b flag-posts are placed at each corner of the field
c flag-posts must not be dangerous
d if unbreakable, flag-posts must be attached to a spring base
e flag-posts carry flags, not exceeding 300 mm in width or length
