For larger stadiums intended for professional use, it is recommended that a room be allocated for ball kids, who are (usually) the children who retrieve the ball when it leaves the field of play and recirculate it to the players. It is recommended that the room be approximately 25m with a view to accommodating 15 kids. It should provide easy access to toilets, space for a fridge, with convenient access to the pitch area although not within the player dressing room area. The room should ideally be accessible at half-time.
Where ball kids of both genders are engaged, consideration needs to be given to the appropriate separation of changing and sanitary facilities.
