Soccer pitch sizes: Recommended senior pitch (105m x 68m) Minimum senior pitch (90m x 45m) ‘Miniroos’ under 10&11 pitch (60m x 40m) ‘Miniroos’ under 8 & 9 pitch (40m x 30m) ‘Miniroos’ under 6 & 7 pitch (30m x 20m) AFL min. senior oval size (155m long, 110m wide) Auskick Under 10’s oval size (100m long, 80m wide) Auskick Under 8’s oval size (80m long, 60m wide) Existing oval size (approx 60m long, 50m wide) A B C D A B C D Conclusion: The creation of an oval that complies with AFL or Auskick recommended sizes, even for the youngest age groups, would be very expensive to achieve and highly disruptive to other school facilities, existing vegetation, and the neighbourhood character. Such works are therefore not recommended. It is proposed that AFL activities on the site occur within the available space (which allows for training at all levels, but not matches on an oval conforming to standards). Surface improvements, boundary netting, and a pavilion are proposed that will improve the site for AFL training. Conclusion: The school oval is already large enough to accommodate the minimum recommended under 6 & 7 and under 8 & 9 Miniroos pitch sizes. With some earthworks, the site could also accommodate the mimumum recommended under 10 & 11 Miniroos pitch (if run-off areas around the pitch are minimised). This would allow the site to cater to the soccer needs of most primary school aged children. The creation of a pitch that complies with recommended sizes for senior matches would be very expensive to achieve and highly disruptive to other school facilities, existing vegetation, and the neighbourhood character. Such works are therefore not recommended. E E Aireys Inlet School Oval PLAYING FIELD SIZE ANALYSIS Note: Sizes shown do not include run-off/ buffer areas around the playing surfaces. AFL Soccer
