Please somebody listen this is an emergency and not only a public health emergency but something must be done ----
The turf fields at fowler are to small for 9v9 and u12 DA. Its terrible and painful to watch. The fields could be made wider, and the space is there. Or even better, use one of other turf fields that arent'' even being played on and create a nice size 9v9 pitch where kids can actually try to play soccer. I get it play in tight spaces etc, the middle of the field is way to congested and their is little room to open up. Something must be done to save the galaxy. please do something!
In summary small 9v9 pitches along with being played on turf makes for some painful painful soccer.

Think that is more of a Forsyth County Parks and Rec issue, right? I thought that UFA leased or rented that space from the county. I think the county has the ultimate decision on dimensions and layout. Not 100% sure but think that is the case.

You are correct - Forsyth County Parks and Rec dictates which fields can be used by UFA and which are to be used by other organizations. So "empty" fields are not "empty" - they are designated to other groups.

If it is outside of those rules then it is a problem. Minimum is 60x40 yards whichever smaller than typical. I have ours at 72x50

According to the measuring feature on google maps, the fields are approximately 190 ft by 150 ft or 64 yards by 50 yards

Minimum and Maximums changed from US Soccer when we changed the Age Year and to 9v9/7v7. For a 9v9 field, the Length is 70-80 yards and Width 45-55 yards. So that field may be a tad short but is within the width. You have remember when US Soccer made the change to add an extra player in 7v7 & 9v9 they also made the field smaller. Yep thanks for that logic US Soccer, just like suspending a players First Amendment rights that was brilliant! www.usyouthsoccer.org/FileDownload.aspx?D=GuhXpjum4URPrgxn13v9dnM82hqA+WiGx1/R4RJg4FY=

Some parks this isn't an issue, it seems most of the grass fields are very big, its a few of the turf fields where its extremely tight for 9v9.

... Yep thanks for that logic US Soccer, just like suspending a players First Amendment rights that was brilliant! Not to derail the thread, but remember that only the government can infringe on someone's first amendment rights. This point is quite separate from whether the USSF should or should not require standing during the anthem, and in no way is intended to argue for or against that position. But it's not a first amendment issue. It's a contractual issue.
