Restarts in midi

No, I believe they're 60x43.

At around 10% increase each direction, the actual increase in playing area (over the "usual") is considerable - around an extra 380 square metres if I've multiplied it correctly.

well, you'll just have to get your tape measure out..

but you are proving my point
- a maximum size pitch is 100 x 70 = 7000m2
- a "bog-standard" grass roots pitch is (let's say) 90m x 60m = 5,400 m2

but
- a 60x43 U12 pitch = 2,580 m2, so it's LESS than half the size of a bog-standard pitch, and much less than half a full-size pn

If the Luton pitches are MUCH MORE than half a standard pitch, then they will be bigger than 60x43.

Luton have U11/12 sized pitches (and I think posts at each end).

So do Doncaster -with posts

The next time the Knights are on telly. They are the pitches you can see behind the "huge" crowd opposite the main stand.

And, on those a "bog standard" U11/U12 pitch would be 35 (half a pitch less 5m from the goal line & 5m from the centre line) x 50 (5m from each touch line).

An area of 1750 m2.

but
- a 60x43 U12 pitch = 2,580 m2, so it's LESS than half the size of a bog-standard pitch, and much less than half a full-size pn

If the Luton pitches are MUCH MORE than half a standard pitch, then they will be bigger than 60x43.

Assuming the Luton pitches are 60x43 (I believe they are), they're 830m2 bigger than a "bog standard" pitch.

That's a 47% increase in playing area. That qualifies as "MUCH MORE" for me.

OK so we can agree

- 60x43 is smaller than a half-size adult pitch
- and bigger than the coned-off-sideways pitches that U12s typically play on

Yes.

No that would be a quarter of an adult pitch. :rc:

Yeah - fingers in front of brain... fair cop

U111 size pitches with posts at each end?
I am impressed. for the years my son played U7 to U12 I never once saw a half-size pitch with posts at each end. It would take a very large rugby club with a lot of space to devote the equivalent of a pitch permanently to mini/midi rugby.

I HAVE seen, for tournaments, half-size pitches marked out, ie the lines marked. But they have always been temporary markings on a regular pitch. So there will often be a single set of posts, on the half-way line, never saw them used.

Come and join High Wycombe RUFC then!

And by the way that was 2 for each age groups so two full pitch areas! Along with training grids - and a floodlit pitch.
