Line Marking
Various practices have been used in the past for the application of white lines to football pitches. the objectives of such practices has been to both reduce labour and materials costs whilst endeavouring to keep the lines visible for a greater length of time. Some of these practices have lead to injury and subsequent court action being taken against managers and clubs. You are therefore advised to study the following notes carefully.

RESPECT
the fa reSPect designated Spectators’ areas were introduced in 2008 as a response to concern at some touchline spectator behaviour – particularly in youth football. the area can be marked using an additional painted line, the use of cones or a roped-off area. the best results have come when use has been made of a temporary spectators’ barrier system.
Theareasdrawthelinewhichspectatorsshouldnotcross.Itdetersthemfromstandingonthetouchlineor infringing onto the pitch and creates a clearer distinctionbetweenthosewhoaretheretospectateandthosewitharesponsibilitytocoachandmanage.Asaconsequencetheexperienceofmatchofficialsandplayersisimproved.

many pitches operate alongside each other. It is important that there is a minimum of six yards of clearance (three yards run-off from each pitch) between the two pitches to avoid player injuries. If a respect spectator area is added, then this two-yard area is in addition to this six yards.
