The pitch

The pitch should be 23 x 35 metres (this is often relaxed for lower leagues).The side lines and goal lines of the pitch are marked by floating ropes, or the sides of the pool are used in smaller pools.The pitch is split into several areas there should be 6 metre markers, 4.5 metre markers and halfway markers. This results in a pitch like below
Substitutes should wait in their own substitutes area. They can pass through the no waiting area, but shouldnt stay there. Players on the pitch can paddle round the back of the goal across the full width of the pitch.
