Six-metre line is an arcing line that defines the goal area, also known as the "goal area line". Goal area is the D-shaped area extending six metres from the goal and occupied only by the goalkeeper. Usually coded with different colour in contrast with the rest of the court so any players entering the goal area other than the goalkeeper can be clearly seen and penalised. Only the goal keeper are allowed to be inside the six-metre area.
The goal area in the above picture is in yellow as opposed to the rest of the court which is in blue. The nine metre line is the white dotted line in the picture.
