How to Use
- Download the PDF guide after purchase
- Reference the sport you are designing for across recreational or competition levels
- Use the comparative size charts to understand land area requirements and clearances
- Cross-reference with your site area to assess which sports combinations are feasible
- Apply NGB-endorsed dimensions directly to your design drawings or master plan
Who Is This For?
- Architects and landscape architects designing sports complexes, schools, and community facilities
- Sports facility planners and project managers benchmarking site requirements

Why This Reference Matters
Sports facility design is governed by precise dimensional standards that vary by sport, competition level, and governing body. Errors in site allocation or court orientation can render a facility non-compliant with NGB requirements, affecting funding eligibility, insurance, and community use licensing. This guide consolidates the dimensional data you need into a single comparable format, saving research time and reducing design risk.
