What is a short corner?

Hi, I'm actually a kid doing BTEC sport in Year 10, and I'm doing my coursework on Hockey. Unfortunatly I have no idea what a short corner is, other than it's suppose to commence play again. If anyone could help me with this, it would be much appreciated %3A)

A short corner is also known as (officially known as) a penalty corner. Roughly speaking, it is defined as a set play which occurs after a foul in the D or a deliberate or calculated foul in the 25. One attacker injects the ball from a specific marking, which has to travel outside of the D before a shot can come in. 4 defenders and a GK have to stand in the goal (or just outside) until the ball is injected. If the first shot at goal is not flicked, it has to cross the line at backboard height. Search google / youtube / etc, for videos of some great penalty (short) corner routines. Hope that helps. Good luck with the coursework!
