Marks are made off the field of play, 9.15m from the corner arc and at right angles to the goal lines and
the touch lines, to ensure defending players retreat this distance when a corner kick is taken.
The length of the touch line is greater than the length of the goal line. All lines are not more than 12cm wide.
