The concentric circle lines establishing the play area parameters facilitate the unique form of soccer play described herein. In addition to the unique application of the device, the unique design and nature of this device, making it optionally foldable, collapsible, and light weight, facilitates its transportation to, speedy placement on, and removal from the area of use. |
