The Field Hockey Zone, a new look at an old game. The Zone and penalty corners were made for each other. The whole game is at stake every time the referee makes that two handed gesture. It is a tense moment for the offense and for the defense as well. Offensively, the players take up their normal positions but with one major difference.
Every player has an identifying number.
Every player knows who they are and every player will know exactly what the sequence of events will be. This is critical. All too often, a team enters a game with one maybe two predetermined plays for the penalty corner. Now the number of combinations are limitless and can be arranged instantly. The striker simply calls out a number.
