How To Layout Line and Paint Soccer Field in one hour. Marking a futbol field. Easy Fast Basic tools

The center line saves a lot of time. I use one when laying out Lacrosse fields as well.

We don't paint too many soccer (football/futbol fields) here at the high school level anymore. Most schools have artificial turf fields that are permanently lined. Now we paint more American grass football fields than anything. Thanks for watching and commenting!!!!!

Thanks for your kind comment!

Yesterday we laid out 3 football fields and re painted 2 football fields in 2 total hours with 3 guys. Needless to say we were worn out. We have one to lay out tomorrow.

What do u use to paint can you tell me where to buy

8-10 cans on initial layout. 4-6 cans to repaint. Depends on speed of walking and length of the turf.

How often do you need to repaint?@@CREENBIRDVideos

Thank you too!

And from Ukraine as well)👍 cheers!

Thanks, I’m old school. A robot would be cool!

Thanks for your compliment. Glad you liked the video!!!

Hope it was helpful!!??

It’s an aerosol marking stick from Pioneer Athletics. It is used with their brand aerosol field paint.

Thanks for you compliment!

CREENBIRD Videos cheers

There were 2 of us on this video. 3 or 4 people can make it faster, if they all know what to do. It’s harder to do with only one person.

I use 4 big screwdrivers that fit through the end of the tape measures. I use an additional 4 or 5 screwdrivers for marking the boxes. Bright colors are great so you can see them when making straight lines and not losing them. Having them fit in your pocket is beneficial so you don’t have to walk back to the truck or cart when you need one.

12 yards or 36 feet. So you would walk 12 paces.

@@thefootballempire1646 big steps

I use two 400 foot tapes and two 300 foot tapes. Approximately 8-10 cans for the first lining. Repainting usually takes 4-6 cans depending on how faded it is. Easier to keep it fresh. Enough string to stretch a piece the length of the field. 360 feet. And another piece to go across the field. 210 feet.

What kind of string/cable is best?@@CREENBIRDVideos

@@Tripurasa1994 if you hold the paint stick closer to the ground when painting it will be narrower. Pioneer also makes an aerosol painter that has four wheels and can be used to paint a smaller line.

Yes, you are correct. I have used it before when lining fields that aren’t mowed short, or are not flat and level.

How do you do it !

@@elsierra9741 just like the 30 40 50 squaring up in the video except you would go 60 80 and 100 feet. It would be more accurate.

Or you can buy a paint machine for a more professional result. The video uses the aerosol method, which is fast and cheaper than buying a full on machine. You can always go over the aerosol layout with a machine later.

Sorry, I’m from the tape measure and string generation.

@@CREENBIRDVideos neat answer, me too.

When you square up in the beginning. When you measure equal at each end after squaring up it stays the same.

@@CREENBIRDVideos I guess what I am saying is that how can you make sure that say North Corner A is going to be inline with South Corner A?

As long as your first corner is 100% square, everything else should stay square as long as your tape measures are straight and your measurements are equal. Keeping the tapes straight is key.

Thanks for the ❤️

Yes, that is the price of being fast. We wipe them when reeling, but we use them so much they are cheap and don’t last long.

My team member and I can do a full soccer field in less than an hour using this method on a field that is sufficient in size and properly mowed. I have done this exact field by myself from scratch in less than an hour and a half. In my defense, I'm getting older and I'm a little bit slower, but I've been painting fields this way for 20+ years. Thanks for watching my video and commenting.

Thanks! I’m an old school grounds guy. I’m not a coach or former player. Glad you watched my video! I will work on my terminology next time.

Np sir i enjoyed the vid ❤️

Correct. It a do it yourself video for people who want to line a soccer field without “professional “ airless sprayers, gps robots and specialized stencil equipment. Thanks again for commenting!!!

Bit harsh, I am a professional if thats what you want to call it, i help look after a professional sports complex in the uk. We have everything needed to mark out a pitch professionally all top end equipment from ransome mowers to toro pro core machines gps robots the lot this guy has more skill than most the people i work with they could not mark out a pitch to save there lives without a robot they have no clue of what 3,4,5 even is they are to lazy to put in a hard days work only wanting to do sit down job like ride on mower work or robot paint markers i get it that that is now the way especially at clubs with money but dont hate on a guy that clearly knows what he is doing this gentleman has ore knowlage that most of the people on the team i work with and i would hire him instantly after seeing him work the tools are basic but he is no amature show some respect these guys are a dieing breed and more so the type of groumdsman i love working with.
