Adding a kickball field to your school, home, or recreational facility can make for hours of fun for both kids and adults. But before you start planning your kickball field, it’s important to think about the dimensions of the area you need so you can ensure the right layout.

Turf Kickball Field Dimensions

When planning your kickball field, it’s important to make sure you have enough space. If you anticipate using the field for league competitions, then you’ll want to make sure that the field meets regulation dimensions.

To design a regulation size field, plan out the space with the following measurements:

• The distance between bases will need to measure 60 feet.
• Home base to second base measures 84 feet and 10.25 inches.
• The pitching strip is positioned 42 feet and 5 ⅛ inches from home plate.
• The sidelines begin 10 feet behind home plate.

If you’re creating a space for a kickball league, then getting the position and location of these key elements is important.

While the above dimensions are regulation-approved, if you won’t be using the space for official games, you can alter those dimensions and work with the space that’s available to you. Smaller fields might be ideal for younger kids who are just using the space for recreational use.

Keep in mind that you can play kickball on existing fields, like a baseball or softball field. If you’re pressed for space, designing one field that serves all of your needs can be ideal, especially if the space is for an elementary school where the players will be younger.

As you plan your kickball field, think about how you’ll use it both now and in the future. While a regulation size field does require a lot of space, if you ever think you might want to use the field for games and competitions, it’s worth investing a little more initially and creating a regulation size field that you can use in the future.

Choosing Your Kickball Field Surface

Whether you’re planning to make an indoor or outdoor kickball field, you’ll need to choose the right turf to use. Artificial grass has many benefits, including being much easier to maintain than real turf and being something that you can use regardless of the weather.

Before you order your turf, decide on the exact dimensions of your field and how much material you’ll need. Then, you can determine which product is best for your budget and you can more accurately order that product.
