For a long time I have wondered how we can improve safety for those defenders alongside the goalkeeper at short corners. Helmets and body protectors aside the Aussies have come up with a solution. Only 2 defenders and the GK on the line. 3 attackers on the 23 metre line everybody else beyond the half way line. Nobody moves until injected ball crosses 23 metre line. Defenders on the goal-line now come out. The injector plus the 3 attackers are in free play creating a 4 v 2 situation until the others join in. I would like to experiment with it for our under 12 juniors. Watch this space. [Post Edited Thursday 18th of November 2010 07:07 PM] |

it seems to be a good idea and has sometimes worked in practice when ive trained with school and also reduces the risk of injury sustained by players. I'd love to see england hockey change the regulations as they have for other aspect of hockey in the past and it is something we should all consider. Would we rather be more prone to injury or avoid injuries many sustain from short corners. [Post Edited Friday 02nd of December 2011 06:08 PM] |

Very often we find that for one reason or another a team has no goalkeeper. This Aussie solution would be the answer when a short corner is awarded. Three defenderers would be allowed on the goal-line. We need to start a campaign - I'm sure it would be safer than the present system. |

But one thing that is wrong with that system is that one of the defenders should be taken out and replaced with the keeper or they should add the keeper in that system |
