Hockey: Short Corner Defence 3 - 1

Setup the defence as shown with defenders on each post and a runner on each post.

Player 1 runs to the top of the circle with Player 2 running on their right hand side, but only 3/4 of the way out. Player 2 is their to put pressure on any slip left or pass back to the injector.

Players 3 and 4 are responsible for protecting the posts as well as picking up any rebounds off the keeper's pads.

Also should be ready to adjust in case the opposition perform a set play

Set up as shown in the picture. The ball is pushed out towards the top of the circle, but on this occasion the stopper dummies to stop the ball but leaves it for the player backing up (Blue 7).

This player picks up the ball and passes the ball to the right (Blue 4), who in turn takes the ball into the circle to draw the defender before passing to the unmarked attacker (s) on either of the posts.

Players line up as shown in the diagram. The ball is pushed out to the stopper at the top of the circle. The ball is stopped and the striker moves in to pick the ball up off the stoppers stick and then passes the ball to the right to blue 6. They stun (stop) the ball for blue 4 to come in and strike the ball at goal.

Players set up as shown in the diagram. The ball is pushed out to the stopper at the top of the circle, who then proceeds to stop the ball and roll it into the circle. The striker then looks like they are going to shoot before hitting the ball to the left hand post for the injector to score.
