The standard kabaddi game ground is a rectangular field with specific measurements that are followed in both national and international competitions. According to official regulations, the men\“s kabaddi ground measures 13 meters in width and 10 meters in length for each side, making the total playing area 13x20 meters.
For women\“s kabaddi, the ground is slightly smaller, measuring 12 meters in width and 8 meters in length for each side. The playing surface is divided into two halves by a center line, with baulk lines drawn 3.75 meters from the center line on each side and bonus lines drawn 1 meter from the baulk lines.
The ground surface is typically made of soft soil, clay, or synthetic material to ensure player safety during tackles and falls. Proper ground measurement is crucial as it affects player movement, raiding strategies, and defensive formations in this traditional Indian sport that has gained international popularity. |
