Testimonial:
Just wanted to say thanks for publishing the spreadsheet for field layout (Soccer Field Layout Tool) as it has been a godsend. I usually due 8v8 fields and it is the fastest easiest way we have found to do a field.

We are going to start doing 11v11 fields this spring and I have a question. What is the easiest way to string the center line down the middle of the field for longer distances (90-100 yards)? Small sided fields it is easy to eyeball the line to make sure it is straight, however, I'm concerned with the longer fields it may start to slide left or right. David Z. (04/08/10)

Tru Mark Suggestion:
My suggestion on helping create a straight center line is to create a 300 plus foot line (braided twine or similar) and add at least three loops/knots to designate your end line points and the center point. You can use a reel for storage such as one of our string winder products.

You could create two equal length lines and connect them at the middle to do the same thing (cable tie or loop clamp). Then you could use these individual strings that are premeasured (using knots/loops) for marking the intersection distances versus using two tape measures.

Please send us your tips and tricks and we'll post them for everyone to improve the sports field operations.
