Claims (5)

1. A soccer cage characterized by having a soccer cage body comprising a perimeter fence erected to surround the entire perimeter of the field, and a ceiling fence that closes the upper space enclosed by the perimeter fence.
2. The aforementioned soccer cage body is equipped with a bridge, The soccer cage according to claim 1, characterized in that the bridge comprises a bridge body arranged to span over one side of the soccer cage body and over the top surface to the other side.
3. The soccer cage according to claim 1, characterized in that the ceiling fence is set such that the maximum bending stress is less than the allowable stress when the maximum load is applied.
4. The soccer cage according to claim 1, characterized in that, under conditions where the maximum expected wind force is acting, the rotational moment due to gravity acting on the installation point of the soccer cage body is set to be greater than the rotational moment due to wind force.
5. The soccer cage according to claim 2, characterized in that the bridge is set such that, under the maximum load, the maximum bending stress is less than the allowable stress.

Description

This invention relates to a soccer cage. Mini-soccer (including futsal) differs from regular soccer, which is played with 11 players on each side, in that it is played on a smaller field, resulting in less physical exertion and making it enjoyable for a wide range of ages. However, if the ball goes far out of bounds, players need to retrieve it. This also means that space outside the field is used. Furthermore, if other people are using the space outside the mini-soccer field, it could interfere with their game or the ball could hit other people. To address these issues, Patent Document 1 proposes a fence for mini-soccer. The mini-soccer fence described in Patent Document 1 consists of a pair of touch fence sections installed immediately outside both touchlines on the field, and a pair of goal-side fence sections installed immediately outside both goal lines. At the intersections (corners) of the touchlines and goal lines, the touch fence sections and goal-side fence sections are connected to each other. Using these mini soccer fences, each fence prevents the ball from going out of bounds, allowing you to enjoy playing with the ball essentially staying within the field. Similar prior art is also disclosed in Patent Documents 2 and 3.

In particular, it should be noted that the drawings are schematic and may differ from reality. (Embodiment) Figures 1 to 14 illustrate this embodiment. First, the field (pitch) F of the mini-soccer will be described. As shown in Figure 14, the field (pitch) Fi is the space enclosed by the touchlines L1 on both sides and the goal lines L2 on both sides, which are positioned perpendicularly at both ends of the touchlines. Within this field Fi, the halfway line L3, the center circle line L4, and the penalty area line L5 are indicated. Next, the configuration of the soccer cage SC will be explained. As shown in Figures 1 and 2, the soccer cage SC comprises a soccer cage body 1 and a bridge 50 that is positioned to span over the top surface from one side of the soccer cage body 1 to the other side. The soccer cage body 1 includes a perimeter fence 2 erected to surround the entire perimeter of the field Fi, and a ceiling fence 30 that closes the upper space enclosed by the perimeter fence 2. The perimeter fence 2 comprises a pair of touchline-side fence sections 10 erected along the immediate outside of the touchlines L1 on both sides, and a pair of goalline-side fence sections 20 connected at both ends of the pair of touchline-side fence sections 10, and erected along the immediate outside of the goallines L2 on both sides. The ends of the touchline-side fence sections 10 and the
