The field of play is rectangular and marked with lines called boundary lines. The two longer boundary lines are touch lines and the two shorter lines are goal lines. It is divided into two halves by a halfway line, which joins the midpoints of the two touch lines.
A penalty kick comes from just 12 yards, or 36 feet, away from the goal. If you stand in a goal and see how close that is in person, it's almost scary to think of a trained athlete kicking a ball at you from that close at those high speeds.
In soccer, there is no set offside line, instead, the line is determined by the location of the second-to-last defender— in most cases the last defender is the goalkeeper and the second-to-last defender is the deepest field player.
