      A standard football pitch is quite large so it’s common for schools to subdivide it to save on space or make it bearable for younger students.

      These fields seem to be usable as two small fields with the yellow lines or one normal sized one with the white lines.

      There’s no standard size for a soccer field…

      So it’s not unheard of for complexes to have multiple set ups like this.

      Like how a HS gymnasium can have one major basketball court for games, but has like 6 more baskets that can be lowered for practice

        The rules are pretty loose (the width can be anywhere between 46 and 91 metres wide), but in practice real pitches are almost always between 64 and 69m wide and between 102 to 106m long. Even with the loosest possible interpretation of the rules, if you had the biggest legal pitch, you could fit at most 2 legal pitches on it if you subdivided it.

        It would actually be really interesting for a team looking for an edge to use an extremely unusual pitch shape to make it hard for visiting teams to adapt.
