| Technical Area to be used in All BCSA Matches in 2010 |
| All fields must have a technical area drawn for coaches, substitutes and other team officials. This area must be no closer than 5 yards from the halfway line and must not be any closer than 1 yard from the touch line. The maximum length of the technical area is 15 yards. No seating shall be placed closer than 2 yards from the front of the technical area. Minimum marking shall consist of the line parallel to the touchline closest to the field and a side marking at least 1 yard long perpendicular to said line at either end of the line. All coaches, substitutes and team staff must remain inside the technical area during the run of play and shall only leave the technical area to report to the halfway line in order to report as a player into the match. On fields where a technical area exists for another governing body of soccer, (i.e High School Federation, NISOA, etc.), said technical area shall be honored for BCSA games. If no technical area can be drawn, a seating area must be provided for each team no closer than 3 yards from the touchline and no closer than 7 yards from an extension of the halfway line. In such cases, team coaches, staff and substitutes are restricted to the area within 1 yard of said designated area on all sides. |
