The Edge Sports Center Indoor Soccer Field area is 60 yards long and 40 yards wide, making it the largest indoor soccer facility in Northern Colorado. This field is approximately 50% wider than an official indoor soccer rink, making it much more useful for practicing team tactics for outdoor soccer.
Soccer goals can be set up at both ends of the field. Three sizes of goals are available:
1. Near regulation size (18 ½' x 6 ½'), useful for goalkeeper practice and offensive drills.
2. Intermediate size goals (12 x 6 ½'), useful for indoor soccer leagues as well as small-side practice.
3. 3 v 3 Goals (6' x 4') for 3 v 3 games as well as small-side practice.
The field is permanently lined with touch lines, end lines, mid-field stripe, goalie box, and quarter-circles for corner kicks. Corner flags are provided. The extra space on the south side of the field is for benches (or chairs) for spectators during soccer league games.
There are no 'dasher boards' as in a classic indoor soccer rink. Instead, when one team kicks the ball over the end-line, or the touch-line, the other team is given a goal kick or throw-in, respectively. Again, this has been done to more closely approximate the outdoor game of soccer, and improve the transfer of skills from indoor play to outdoor play.
A JUGS soccer ball throwing machine is available for use in practice.
