Turning 11 man field into 6 man??

[footballking]

Hey guys I will be converting at 11 man field into 6 man field without moving the goal post. What is the mesurments of a six man field? Just trying to figure out how the goal post will come into play?? I was told to paint the field and just mark what would be a 3 yard mark for FG? Is that correct

The best place to find dimensions, etc. is the last two pages of the UIL comparisons

The official uprights for sixman are 9 ft high, 25 feet wide. But you wouldn't be the first one on the block to mess that up (I did when we built the Lifegate field in 2003).

I was going to ask that myself, freeagent.

How are you going to lower and widen the goalposts?

I'm not ...

How are you going to kick pats? Temporary goal posts?

Why wouldn't you just move the posts?
You're gonna have to make several other changes as well so...

commit already.

Doggie..........The posts are not the same dimensions

Footballking, are you the new HD FB coach or new AD there?

 

[Dogface]

Actually,
I'm familiar with all the different dimensions.
I was just wondering why not just do it all.
Isn't there more involved than jus the posts?
he asked knowingly.

Maybe they're jus converting as little as possible
till they can go back down to 11man?
