Crease circles, attack areas, wing lines, restraining lines, and midfield — correct for boys and girls programs. NY, NJ, and CT high school and club teams.
Get a QuoteBoys and girls lacrosse have different field specs. Many contractors get them wrong. We don't.
Boys vs. girls field dimensions aren't the same. Girls lacrosse uses a different crease radius (8.5 ft vs. 9 ft for boys), no attack area box, and different restraining line placement. We know the difference — and we confirm which ruleset (NFHS, NCAA, US Lacrosse) applies to your program before marking a single line.
| Line / Feature | Boys (NFHS) | Girls (NFHS) |
|---|---|---|
| Field length | 110 yards | 120 yards max |
| Field width | 60 yards | 70 yards max |
| Crease radius | 9 feet | 8.5 feet |
| Attack area (goal area) | 20 × 35 yard box | No box (free movement) |
| Restraining lines | 20 yards from each end | 15 yards (scoring arc) |
| Center circle | 10 yards diameter | 9 yards diameter |
The crease is the most critical accuracy point on any lacrosse field. We use proper compass-and-string technique — no freehand. Every crease is geometrically correct.
Boys only. The 20×35-yard attack area defines positioning rules for 6 offensive players. Correct placement relative to the goal is non-negotiable for rule enforcement.
Wing lines run the width of the field to define restraining positions. Center line, center circle, and face-off dot must all be precisely placed relative to field geometry.
We mark goal line extensions and assist with goal positioning relative to the crease. A properly positioned goal — 15 yards from the endline — makes all downstream geometry correct.
Spring lacrosse season is wet. Lines fade faster in April and May than any other time of year. We schedule bi-weekly or weekly repaints through your full season.
Multiple fields for a single-day tournament, all lined correctly to the same standard. We've set up 6-field lacrosse tournaments in under 4 hours. Schedule us the morning before.
Real numbers, not a "call for pricing" runaround.
Full measuring, crease circles, wing lines, and geometry setup.
Following existing lines. Every 2–3 weeks during season.
Flat-rate repaints through playoffs, priority scheduling.
The crease geometry adds setup time versus a straight-line sport, which is why lacrosse runs a bit above soccer's small-sided pricing but in line with a full-size soccer field. → See the full breakdown by sport: How Much Does Field Striping Cost?
Yes. We confirm the exact ruleset — NFHS, NCAA, or US Lacrosse youth — and mark accordingly. If you're not sure which applies to your program, we'll help you figure it out.
A full initial layout (measuring, all circles, all lines) takes about 2.5–3 hours for one field. A repaint following existing lines takes 60–90 minutes. We can line two fields in a half-day.
All the time. Shared-use fields with overlapping markings are common in parks and school complexes. We use color differentiation where possible and paint over vs. intersecting lines correctly — it's a field-by-field conversation.
We primarily handle outdoor field lacrosse. Contact us to discuss indoor or box lacrosse surface work — it depends on the facility and surface material.
Yes — a lot of schools run field hockey in the fall on the same synthetic turf used for lacrosse in the spring. The shooting circle geometry is actually closer to lacrosse crease work than to a straight-line sport, which is part of why we handle both. See our field hockey field striping guide for dimensions and how we coordinate shared-surface schedules.
A full initial layout typically runs $400–$550, and a repaint over existing lines runs $250–$350, per our published Tri-State Area pricing. Season contracts save 20–30% over per-visit rates — see the full breakdown on our field striping cost guide.
