Beach soccer is indeed a great spectator<br \/>\nsport, fun, and is where most people traditionally had their first kick of a ball. It is more<br \/>\nexciting to watch and people get sucked into that whole beach culture it presents.<br \/>\nConstructing pitches for the sand-bound version of the beautiful game is a rapidly<br \/>\ngrowing industry and this increase is being seen at places not always associated with<br \/>\nnatural beaches successfully taking up the game like landlocked countries Switzerland,<br \/>\nParaguay and Belarus which have repeatedly featured for the FIFA Beach Soccer World<br \/>\nCups. It is a fact that some countries know they are never going to win the World Cup<br \/>\nbut could win at beach soccer.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-8750 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/kick442.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/IMG-20230627-WA0010-300x218.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"218\" srcset=\"https:\/\/kick442.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/IMG-20230627-WA0010-300x218.jpg 300w, https:\/\/kick442.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/IMG-20230627-WA0010-120x86.jpg 120w, https:\/\/kick442.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/IMG-20230627-WA0010.jpg 512w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><br \/>\nToday, a high percentage of beach soccer stadiums are temporary, but key to moving<br \/>\nthe sport forward and the introduction of FIFA stadium guidelines, it should move<br \/>\nbeyond the beach shores for a more permanent location.<br \/>\nHere, are five steps to constructing an artificial beach soccer pitch.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Identify a suitable location and define your beach soccer pitch area, including the<br \/>\nplay zone and at least a two-meter off-pitch boundary around the play zone. Remember,<br \/>\nthe pitch size depends on your available space, even though regulation size measures<br \/>\nbetween 35 to 37 meters and 26 to 28 meters.<\/li>\n<li>Removing the topsoil of the defined area, most builders aspire to create a level<br \/>\nsurface with the sub-base of the pitch area generally sloped to help with the drainage.<br \/>\nThis is essential in case of rain. BSWW advises using perforated PVC pipes covered<br \/>\nwith permeable fabric inside gravel-covered ducts and covered again with another layer<br \/>\nof permeable fabric. You don\u2019t wanna have a waterlogged pitch.<br \/>\n*Please note, as all these activities go on, arrangements for sand most have been<br \/>\nsorted. To build a beach soccer stadium outside of a beach in the middle of a street or<br \/>\nsquare, you need about 800 tonnes of sand, not just any sand, and certainly not the<br \/>\ntype used in general construction. Grains must be between 0.2mm and 0.3mm in<br \/>\ndiameter and are generally sourced from beaches and desert dunes. If this is not<br \/>\npossible, a near-perfect fit can be sourced<\/li>\n<li><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-8748 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/kick442.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/IMG-20230627-WA0012-300x137.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"137\" srcset=\"https:\/\/kick442.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/IMG-20230627-WA0012-300x137.jpg 300w, https:\/\/kick442.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/IMG-20230627-WA0012.jpg 512w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/li>\n<li>Assuming topsoil is removed, sub-drain perforated pipes are installed to slope, sand<br \/>\nis delivered sieved and free of pebbles, and a sand pitch is then laid to a depth of at<br \/>\nleast 40 centimetres. A wood or brick retention box should be installed to prevent sand<br \/>\nloss and a mesh fence installed to prevent animals from fouling the pitch.<\/li>\n<li>Pitch equipment and accessories. The Goal Post 5&#215;2.2 meters can be locally<br \/>\nfabricated, otherwise, a standard one can be ordered from BSWW equipment partners.<br \/>\nPitch Boundary Lines are blue Geo-textile materials, so you could use a fireman water<br \/>\nhose, yes it\u2019s blue too. A roll and a half would just be perfect for your standard pitch&#8230;<br \/>\nJust like mine &#8230; :)). Although the corner flags are special PVC flag poles mounted on<br \/>\nflexible rubber base which is buried in the soil to allow for free pole swings. A traditional<br \/>\nhollow PVC round pipe of about 1.2 meters in height could just be stuck into the soil<br \/>\nwith your red and yellow fabric flags at the tip.<\/li>\n<li>Get the balls, invite your friends and let the game begin!<br \/>\n<hr \/>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>This piece was first published on BSMag Issue No. 7 of 2017 by Taye Olajide<\/strong><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Getting the venues right is paramount for a sport aspiring to global popularity and&hellip;<\/p>","protected":false},"author":5,"featured_media":8751,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[80],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-8747","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-beach-soccer"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v26.1.1 -
