3.4 ATTACKING SHORT CORNERS (Aim - to hit ball into net or push ball into net off rebound)
Players shown above are a standard line-up but the actual
corner line up will be different as some players having specialist skills.
LH if she knows a left layoff is to happen hangs back a bit so as not to be drilled
by the ball. Otherwise she moves to a position in front of the Keeper.She takes anything
in front of the Keeper on her forestick.
RW keeps ball in play if Keeper sweeps or kicks for sideline. Do not try to get ball off
Keepers pads as Keeper will be too quick and you are on your reverse stick.
RI If do not take layoff then move to position to get 4 or 5 yards bounce off Keeper.
LW to take anything that spills off Keeper's hands. Be slightly in front of Keeper.
CF, Stick Stopper pushers ball into circle for Hitter to hit toward goal or layoff to left
or right.
CH, Hitter hits only firmly to Keepers chest (so the rebound is short) if Keeper goes down
or at the Backman on the right post as she is very penetrable. Otherwise she lays ball off
to RI of LI. Three players are at top of circle ready to intercept any clearances.
IL, Left layoff player has an opening over the Keeper's right arm (if the Keeper goes
down). If the ball is layed off to the right then the LI takes up the RI's crumbing
position.
