What are the rules for taking a penalty corner?
A short corner or penalty corner occurs in field hockey. It is awarded for a foul inside the shooting circle or for a deliberate foul within the 23-metre line. The situation is very tactical and most teams will spend a long time practicing routines to try and score.
A short corner is played by having someone inject the ball from the correct line usually on the left side of the goal (looking at it) with a very forceful drag to a person on the top of the circle. The ball must pass outside of the circle before a goal can be scored. After the ball is in the right position a team might try a number of strategies including drag flicks, hard strikes, complicated passing routines and dummies to score.
When defending against one only 5 players (including the goalkeeper, if present) are allowed back and must remain behind the base line until the ball is hit. The defending players will usually wear additional defensive equipment such as face masks and thicker gloves for protection depending upon the role they play.
Certain rules applied during the corner are different from regular play, also.
If the first shot taken during a corner is a hit, then it may only enter the goal below the height of the backboard to be a legal goal. Flicks and deflections can get around this retriction, which is why they are often-practiced skills and also why those who can dragflick well score most often during corners.

The rounded side. If it has 2 flat sides you can use both sides. *When holding the stick with the hook facing away from the body, the side on the left (the "flat" side) is the playing surface. The side on the right is the back of the stick and cannot be used to play the ball at any time. This holds even if the stick is flat. However the edges can be used to a certain extent.

Penalty corner in hockey is caused by a foul in the D (the scoring area) e.g. a foot.
For 11 a side:
During a penalty corner the defending team can have 4 defenders and the goalie stand in the goal - behind the line. The attacking team can have as many as they want (usually about 6) who stand just on/a step behind the line of the D. The rest of the players for both teams must stand behind the half way line. One attacking player stands on the backline ready to pass the ball out to the top of the D where their team mates are.
When whistle goes attacker passes the ball and all defenders run out - 2 defence: 1 runs at the person they believe will get the ball and the other defendergoes to the person they think the ball carrier will pass to. The other two defenders take a couple of steps out and stand near to the goal posts. The goalie takes a few steps out and makes themself as large as possible. Meanwhile attackers must take the ball outside the D before entering the D. Then they may pass or have a shot at goal.
The other players at the half way line may run back to goal as soon as whistle goes.
For 7 aside:
There are only 2 defenders and a goalie in the goal.
