six-yard box
Goal area marking
The six-yard box is the smaller rectangular area directly in front of each goal on a soccer field, extending six yards from the goal line.
Goal kicks must be taken from within this box.
Also called the goal area.
The larger rectangle surrounding it is the eighteen-yard box or penalty area.
