Executive Summary
• Benchmarks suggest that the City should have 23 full-size
soccer fields.
• The City currently has zero full-size grass fields dedicated to
soccer.
• Building up to 12 new soccer fields at the West Bastanchury
site would be partial progress toward the goal to build
additional full-size soccer fields.
• Lights create the opportunity for high field utilization every
day and evening of the week.
• Adequate parking and amenities are also required.

Brief Review of Game Field Sizes:
NCAA and non-NCAA
11
Game Field Sizes (1 of 5)
• How big is an “extra-large grass field”?
– A full-size Soccer Field is a large footprint
• NCAA Optimal Size: 120 yds by 75 yds
• NCAA Minimum Size: 115 yds by 70 yds
– It also requires a spectator and safety perimeter of an additional
5-10 yds on each dimension
– The minimum footprint for one field is 115+10+10= 135 yds by
70+10+10= 90 yds
– 135 yds by 90 yds = 12,150 sq yds = 2.5 acres per NCAA field
– Plus land for parking and amenities such as restrooms, concessions,
equipment storage, utilities, etc.

13
• Who should play games on NCAA size fields?
– Adults ages 25-85?
– Young adults ages 19-24?
– Children ages 15-18 (high-school)
– Children ages 12-14 (middle school)?
– Children ages 5-11 (elementary school)?
Yes

Yes?
No
14
• Guiding Principle:
– If the City is willing to provide NCAA size fields for middleschool age children for one sport, then the City should
provide NCAA size fields for middle-school age children for
all sports.
• Currently, the City does provide NCAA full-size fields for
middle-school and high-school age children who play baseball
and softball.
• Currently, the City does not provide NCAA full-size fields for
middle-school and high-school age children who play soccer.
15
• How does a reduced (2/3 size) field compare to a full-size
NCAA field?
– Baseball (Little League size)
60 foot bases, 180 foot outfield fence
• Note: This field size is for older elementary school age children. It is about two-thirds the area
of an NCAA full-size baseball field.
– Soccer (11 v 11 U12 youth size)
93 yds by 58 yds (280 ft by 175 ft)
• Note: This field size is for older elementary school age children (Under 11/12) playing normal
11 vs. 11 soccer. It is about two-thirds the area (5400 sq yds) of a full-size NCAA soccer field
(115 x 70 = 8050 sq yds).
– Softball
40 foot bases, 135 foot outfield fence
• Note: This field size is for older elementary school age children. It is about two-thirds the area
of an NCAA full-size softball field.
– The youngest elementary school age children play tee ball, coach pitch and
soccer on reduced size fields. These smaller fields are generally not in short
supply.
16
Soccer Practice Field Notes
17
Unlit Practice sites for all outdoor sports
•
•
Outdoor practice sites without lights have limited use.
Without Daylight Savings time, all unlit sports fields have restricted use:
– Six months of the year (09/15/14 – 03/15/15), sunset occurs prior to 7:00 pm.
– Four months of the year (11/01/14 – 03/07/15), sunset occurs prior to 6:00 pm.
– Two months of the year (11/02/14 – 01/08/15), sunset occurs prior to 5:00 pm.
•
•
•
During January and February, it is difficult for most coaches to reach a
practice site at 4:00 pm or 4:30 pm, and complete a 90 minute practice
before it is dark at 6:00 pm.
During November and December, it is impossible for most coaches to
reach a practice site at 3:30 pm, and complete a 90 minute practice before
it is dark at 5:00 pm.
Practice sites with lights are critical, and oversubscribed, during these
four critical months. Youth soccer is acutely impacted during this period.
18
Soccer Practice Field Sizes
•
•
•
Guiding Principle:
– It is standard protocol in most cities to assign each team a practice
space equal to one quarter of an age-appropriate game field for two
practices per week for up to 90 minutes per session.
For teams U13-U19 playing 11 v 11:
– NCAA full-size field: 115 yds by 70 yds = 8050 sq yds
– One quarter field: 58 yds by 35 yds = 2013 sq yds
For teams U11-U12 playing 11 v 11:
– 2/3 size field: 93 yds by 58 yds = 5400 sq yds
– One quarter field: 47 yds by 29 yds = 1350 sq yds
19
Soccer Practice Field Inventory
• In Fall, when the days are long, Yorba Linda probably does
have enough soccer practice field space. Only a portion of the
space is city-owned. The balance is primarily made up of unlit
PYLUSD sites (e.g. elementary schools) with small grass
footprints.
• In Fall, when the days are short, Yorba Linda does not have
enough soccer practice field space. Only a small portion of the
soccer practice space has lights.
• In Spring, when 1500 soccer players are considered is a
“secondary” sport, Yorba Linda does not have enough soccer
practice field space.
20
Selected notes related to
PYLUSD sites in Yorba Linda
21
PYLUSD NCAA full-size Soccer Fields in Yorba Linda
• How many PYLUSD NCAA full-size soccer fields are in Yorba
Linda, excluding high school sites?
• The answer is one, at Bernardo Yorba Middle School.
• But, PYLUSD sites are not city parks. They are not owned by
the city. They are not governed by the city. They are not
maintained by the city. They have restricted access. They are
unavailable for many hours during the week while school is in
session and during after school events.
• The BYMS site does not have lights.
• The BYMS site is not dedicated to soccer.
22
High School Outdoor Sports Fields
• Most high school facilities are congested with high school
teams, and do not have much spare capacity for youth sports.
• Most sports have three team: Varsity, Junior Varsity, and
Freshman. Together, each school supports about 21 outdoor
sport teams:
Boys Football:
Boys Soccer:
Boys Lacrosse:

Supply and Demand for
Selected Outdoor Sports
(excluding soccer)
DK v1 9/8/2014
24
Supply and Demand for Selected Sports
• What about supply and demand for other sports, like
football, baseball, softball, and lacrosse?
• In general, the supply of NCAA full-size facilities for
these other sports exceeds the demand for full-size
facilities.
25
City of Yorba Linda, Community Development Needs,
Supply and Demand for Football Facilities (1 of 2)
• How many children are playing organized football?
– Pop Warner world-wide football participants (excludes cheer and
dance):
• 2010 249,000 participants
• 2012 225,000 participants (down 9%)
– “Consisting of approximately 325,000 young people ranging from
ages 5 to 16 years old, Pop Warner is the largest youth football,
cheer and dance program in the world.”
26
Supply and Demand for Football Facilities (2 of 2)
• How many local children are playing local organized football?
– Yorba Linda Pop Warner participant data (includes cheer):
• Fall 2008
551
• Fall 2012

Supply of Softball Facilities
•
•
•
•
•
•
The City of YL is providing full size fields (60 foot bases) to PYLGSA for
teams beginning at 10 and Under.
The City has six NCAA full-size fields:
– YLMS (joint use) 2, Shapell 2, and Eastside Lower 2
PYLGSA only had three 14U teams in Spring 2014.
PYLGSA 16U and 18U team counts are very low, or even zero.
There are plenty of NCAA full-size softball fields in Yorba Linda.
Why isn’t the City providing full-size soccer fields for soccer players?
29
Supply and Demand for Lacrosse Facilities
• How many children are playing organized lacrosse?
– Youth Lacrosse (USA)
• 2013 estimate
400,000
– Yorba Linda Lacrosse participant data
• Spring 2012
129 players
– During Fall, there are about 3500 local soccer players, or about 27
soccer players for every lacrosse player
– During Spring, there are about 1500 soccer players, or about 12
soccer players for every lacrosse player
– There are no city fields dedicated to youth lacrosse. They obtain space
through the field allocation process.
30
Supply and Demand for Baseball Facilities (1 of 3)
• How many children are playing organized baseball nationwide?
– Little League baseball (USA)
• 1996 2.5 million
• 2010 2.0 million, down 25%
– “Little League baseball—the biggest children's baseball league—reports that
U.S. participation in its baseball and softball leagues in 2012 was 6.8% below
that in 2008.”

• West (2), East (2), Hills (2)
– There are three Junior Fields. These are all NCAA full-size fields:
• Bryant Ranch, Eastside Upper, and Veterans
– There are plenty of NCAA baseball fields in the city. Note that there is one
NCAA field for every 2 middle-school teams.
– The team counts for Seniors and/or Big League are low, or even zero.
– The City is providing NCAA full-size fields for baseball players in middle school
and high school, but the City is not providing any full-size fields for soccer
players at these same age levels.
33
Advocacy: Build 12 full-size soccer fields
Demand for Soccer Facilities
DK v1 9/8/2014
34
Demand for Soccer Facilities (1 of 5)
• How many children are playing soccer nationally?
– US Youth Soccer
• California has two organizations: Cal North, and Cal South (both
formerly CYSA)
• Includes Orange County organizations such as JUSA, OJSC, BSA,
FRYSO, CHSA, ASA, LNYSA, plus many others
• USA youth players (2012):
3,000,000
• Includes CA: 315,000, NY: 186,000, and PA: 171,000
– AYSO
• USA 515,000 (FY2012)
– The national numbers exclude numerous independent leagues
35
• Summary statements related to national and regional youth
soccer:
– Nationally, US Youth Soccer is six times larger than AYSO.
– The combined number of US Youth Soccer players in just
two states (CA & NY) is about the same as the total
number of AYSO players in the entire United States.
– SFIA estimates that there are about 12.7 million youth
soccer players in the United States (2013).
36
• How many children are playing soccer locally?
– AYSO
• Yorba Linda
– JUSA
• N. Orange County
• Yorba Linda
527 (Fall 2012), plus 468 (Spring 2012)
~3800 (Fall 2012), primarily PYLUSD students
2610 (Fall 2012), up 14% vs 2290 (Fall 2007)
plus 939 (Spring 2012)
– The local numbers excludes YL resident children playing in adjacent cities.
How many? Probably several hundred.
– The numbers excludes very small children playing in local programs.
– The local numbers mostly exclude players on winter CIF high-school soccer
teams. Each high school typically has six teams: Varsity, Jr Varsity, Freshman,
Boys, Girls.
37
•
Summary statements related to local soccer:
– Youth soccer is the most popular year-round youth sport in YL.
– There are about 3200 children playing fall soccer in YL with JUSA and
AYSO combined. (The fall player ratio of JUSA to AYSO is about 5 to 1.)
– That represents about 80% of the participants seeking seasonal
allocated field space. (4100 participants, Fall 2012).
– There are several hundred resident youth players on teams hosted by
other cities.
– JUSA has about 50 youth soccer teams in Yorba Linda that should be
playing on NCAA full-size soccer fields.
– AYSO has additional teams that need full-size fields.
– Adult residents would have the opportunity to play soccer in the City if
more field space was available.
38
•
Summary statements related to local spring youth soccer:
– There are about 1500 children playing spring soccer in YL with JUSA
and AYSO. That represents about 45% of the participants seeking
seasonal allocated field space. (3301 participants, Spring 20102). The
spring player ratio of JUSA to AYSO is about 2 to 1.
– Legacy spring sports with declining participation, such as baseball and
softball, are unfairly given seasonal field allocation priority over spring
soccer.
– Further, there are 12 spring soccer players for every spring lacrosse
player, yet lacrosse is given seasonal field allocation priority.
– In summary, residents playing spring soccer are being mistreated by
the current field allocation policy.

Benchmarks for Soccer Facilities
40
Benchmarks for Soccer Fields (1 of 3)
• PARK AND RECREATIONAL FACILITY STANDARDS
– The availability of park and recreation facilities and their
ability to meet the recreational needs of the community is
usually measured by facility standards. These standards
are expressed quantitatively by the number of facilities
needed to serve a certain number of residents (Eg., 5-8
acres of community parks per 1,000 population, 1 field for
every 5,000 population, etc).
41
• Based on a survey of ten cities, the average planning
standard is one full-size soccer field per 3020
residents.

Eastside Community Park - Upper
• Eastside Upper is an NCAA
baseball field for 6 months a year.
• Eastside Upper is a 2/3 size soccer

• An NCAA full-size soccer field does
not fit inside the outfield grass area.
115 yds by 70 yds
• Perhaps Eastside Upper could be
converted to a dedicated NCAA
soccer field - if the baseball diamond
is removed and replaced with grass.
46
Eastside Community Park - Lower
• Eastside Lower is two NCAA
softball fields for 6 months a year.
• Eastside Lower is a 2/3 size soccer
field for 6 months a year.
not fit inside the outfield grass area.
115 yds by 70 yds
• Perhaps Eastside Lower could be
converted to a dedicated NCAA
soccer field - if one or both softball
diamonds are removed and replaced
with grass.
47
Brush Canyon Park
• Brush Canyon is allocated to
softball for small portions of the year.
• Brush Canyon is a 2/3 size soccer
field for most of the year.
not fit inside the grass area. The site
is long enough, but it is too narrow.
115 yds by 70 yds
• Perhaps Brush Canyon Park could
be reconfigured to be a dedicated
NCAA soccer field?
• Trees would need to be removed.
• It would ideal if lights were added to
this site.
48
Vista Del Verde Park
• Vista Del Verde is allocated to
lacrosse during spring.
• Vista Del Verde is a 2/3 size soccer
field for many months of the year.
not fit inside the grass area. The site
is long enough, but it is too narrow.
115 yds by 70 yds
• Perhaps Vista Del Verde could be
reconfigured to be a dedicated NCAA
soccer field?
• Many changes would be necessary.
• It would ideal if lights were available
seven days per week at this site.

Conclusion
50
Executive Summary
• Benchmarks suggest that the City should have 23 full-size
soccer fields.
• The City currently has zero full-size grass fields dedicated to
soccer.
• Building up to 12 new soccer fields at the West Bastanchury
site would be partial progress toward the goal to build
additional full-size soccer fields.
• Lights create the opportunity for high field utilization every
day and evening of the week.
• Adequate parking and amenities are also required.

Closing remarks
We hope this presentation serves as a catalyst for a
thoughtful discussion and review of existing outdoor
sports facilities, and leads to the development of
additional soccer facilities for the present and future
soccer community in the City of Yorba Linda.
