Question Number: 23404

Law 1- The Field 6/1/2010

RE: High School Adult

Ron Rose of Lancaster, PA USA asks...

Where can I find the NFHS rules/rerquirements for goal cages?

Answer provided by Referee Michelle Maloney

I have no idea what a goal cage is - are you talking about the size of the goal itself? That is 8 feet tall by 8 yards long for anything but well little soccer. The poles can be round, oval, square, or rectangular, must be white and can not exceed a width of 5 inches. Goal nets are optional.
