Read what else others have to say about 'The Field Guide'

  

From baseball, football, soccer, and croquet to lesser-known sports such as boomerang, hurling, shinty, and cricket, "The Field Guide: The Layout and Dimensions of Sports Fields" illustrates how to lay out a regulation sports field according to its rules, associated levels, and age groups.   

Useful for sports enthusiasts, athletic directors, and coaches, as well as professionals or students in the architectural, engineering or construction industries, this guide presents comprehensive diagrams that display the fields’ layouts and dimensions along with a brief introduction to the history of each sport.  

For those seeking expanded information on rules and regulations, the manual also clarifies points such as the width of lines, placement of bases, and contact information on the sports’ governing bodies.

 

The Field Guide: The Layout and Dimensions of Sports Fields says Erica McDonald of the Recreation and Culture Services of Oshawa, Canada, “It’s great to have a single source to go to when  you need to find field dimensions quick. "The Field Guide" is concise and informative – a great tool!”

 "The Field Guide: The Layout and Dimensions of Sports Fields" by Michael J. Walker.

"For our profession as Landscape Architects we needed a reference book like "The Field Guide".  The closest book we had was, "Sports Fields: A Manual for Design, Construction and Maintenance". Although this is an extremely professional and useful book it is a bit too technical and cumbersome to bring to meetings. "The Field Guide" now provides us with easy to find diagrams for all sports fields in a format that we can also bring to the construction site or client meetings. As Landscape Architects, we needed a book geared toward simplicity with more diagrams and less technical information." -- Sports Genesis.org  

  

 

All standard size and league fields, fully diagrammed and dimensioned. No other reference book is specific to just field diagrams.

"Assisting communities in the development of parks and athletic programs"

Studies indicate that most park departments, recreation districts and sports associations are severely underfunded and therefore their park and athletic field inventories do not meet the needs of their communities. This is especially true for smaller communities

Sports Genesis, a 501(c)(3) classified non-profit program, fills a need for communities that do not have the department resources or do not have the appropriate funds to start the development process of new athletic parks or the renovation of existing facilities.
