Hi Mandy,

There are a couple of defensive formations that you can use when defending a short corner:

Arrow - 1 players runs to top D,  1 player runs to the left of them and goes halfway out, 1 player goes out to the right and watches back to injector, 1 player defends left post, GK takes the middle/right hand side
Box - 2 players run out to the top and , 2 stand on the posts
