Pitch (sports field)

{{Short description|Surface on which a sports game takes place}}A '''pitch''' or a '''sports ground''' is an outdoor '''playing area''' for various sports. The term ''pitch'' is most commonly used in British English,<ref>{{Cite web |date=2025-11-12 |title=pitch |url=https://dictionary.cambridge.org/dictionary/english/pitch |access-date=2025-11-12 |website=dictionary.cambridge.org |language=en}}</ref> while the comparable term in Australian, American and Canadian English is '''playing field''' or '''sports field'''.<ref>{{Cite web |date=2025-11-12 |title=Definition of FIELD |url=https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/field |access-date=2025-11-12 |website=www.merriam-webster.com |language=en}}</ref> For most sports the official term is '''field of play''', although this is not regularly used by those outside refereeing/umpiring circles. The field of play generally includes out-of-bounds areas that a player is likely to enter while playing a match, such as the area beyond the touchlines in association football and rugby or the sidelines in American and Canadian football, or the "foul territory" in baseball.<ref name=":0" />

The surface of a pitch is most commonly composed of sod (grass), but may also be artificial turf, sand, clay, gravel, concrete, or other materials. A playing field on ice may be referred to as a ''rink'', for example an ice hockey rink, although ''rink'' may also refer to the entire building or, in the sport of curling, to either the building or a particular team.

In the sport of cricket, the cricket pitch refers not to the entire field of play, but to the section of the field on which batting and bowling take place in the centre of the field. The pitch is prepared differently from the rest of the field, to provide a harder surface for bowling.

A pitch is often a regulation space, as in an association football pitch.

The term '''level playing field''' is also used metaphorically to mean fairness in non-sporting human activities such as business where there are notional winners and losers.<ref>{{cite book|title=Economic Justice in an Unfair World: Toward a Level Playing Field|first=Ethan B|last=Kapstein|publisher=Princeton University Press|date=16 Dec 2010}}</ref> ==Fields of play in various sports== {{gallery | title = Pitches | align = center | footer = | mode = | height = | width = | captionstyle = | File:Estadio emilio royo.jpg|American football field | File:Eintracht-sportplatz-ffm-riederwald002.jpg|Association football pitch,<br>surrounded by running track | File:ANZ Stadium, Essendon (cropped).jpg|Australian rules football playing field | File:Croke park all ireland.jpg|Gaelic and Ladies' Gaelic football, hurling, and camogie pitch | File:NRL in ME Bank Stadium.jpg|Rugby league playing field | File:Butts Park Arena - stand&park 27s06.jpg|Rugby union pitch | File:Baseball diamond marines.jpg|Baseball field | File:Sydney_Cricket_Ground_(24509044622).jpg|Cricket field (with the cricket pitch in the centre) | File:Sollentunavallen Helenelund-AIK.JPG|Bandy field | File:Field Hockey Rio 2007.jpg|Field hockey pitch | File:Joe-Louis-Arena.jpg|Ice hockey rink | File:Dairy Creek Park Hillsboro Oregon court.JPG|Basketball court | File:Olympic Swimming Pool, Olympic Stadium, Montreal.jpg|Olympic swimming pool | File:Thialf stadion 2008.jpg|Speed skating rink | File:LapanganTenis Pusdiklat.jpg|Tennis court |File:Set-up of a boxing Ring.jpg|Boxing ring }} == Field sizes == {{Sticky table start}} {{sticky header}} {| class="wikitable sticky-header" !

== Game court == {{no sources|date=January 2021|section}} '''Game court''' is one of the names for a multi-sport athletic space, typically constructed outdoors, where such games as basketball, volleyball, paddle tennis and other racquet sports, and up to a dozen more games and activities can be played. They are usually smaller than a regulation tennis (120' x 60') or basketball (84'x50') court, although there is no set dimensions or size for a game court. The game-court concept was popularized by Sport Court in the 1970s, and some generic references are made to game courts as 'sport courts', although that is a trademark of Connor Sport Court International, LLC. Game courts are often found in residential backyards, giving families and children opportunities for healthy recreation close to home.

Game courts are usually constructed using a rectangular sub-base made from concrete or asphalt, then covered with an open-grid modular polypropylene (or similar) sports surface to improve safety. Most feature athletic equipment such as basketball goals, net systems for racquet sports, volleyball and badminton, lights for nighttime play, fencing or ball containment netting, hockey/soccer goals, lines or markings for various sports, and practice or training components can also be incorporated into the design. === Surface === The surface of a game court&mdash;as opposed to simply playing on concrete or asphalt&mdash;is designed for safe play and to reduce injury. Many people have started to use suspended athletic courts to cover old athletic courts like tennis courts and basketball courts. The surface should provide appropriate traction for various types of sports and activities, as well as shock or force reduction to minimize overuse and stress injuries.

Game courts are typically custom-designed to the interests of the family or organization, and are versatile in enabling a wide variety of sports to be played in a relatively small space. Some activities played on a game court are enjoyable modifications of other sports (such as short-court tennis) that allow for similar skills to be developed as the 'regulation' game, but on a reduced-scale court size. A typical game court of {{convert|50x30|ft|m}} might include a basketball key and 3-point line arranged around a hoop, overlaid by short-court tennis or pickleball lines (which can also be used for volleyball or badminton) along the longer dimension. === Ball containment === Game courts for private use will frequently be built with a high fence surrounding the surface to allow for containment of the ball used in play, and, if required, to prevent people from entering. Any of several materials have been used, including chain-link fencing, welded wire mesh fence, and fabric mesh or netting. ==See also== * Goal * Ice rink * Line marker (sports) * Running track * Sports venue ==References== {{Reflist}} {{Commons category|Playing fields}} {{Sport}} {{Authority control}} {{DEFAULTSORT:Pitch (Sports)}} Category:Outdoor structures Category:Sports terminology Category:Sports venues by type Category:Playing field surfaces Category:Association football venues
