I already tried this before my original post, using a yardstick on the floor. It's a stretch, but I can make an uncomfortable, four foot stride. Keep in mind that I'm slightly less than six feet tall, and have the flexibility of the average 54 year old man, with arthritis, who takes two aspirin before game. Many athletes playing under NFHS rules are much taller than me, and much more flexible.
