Type: article
Abstract: The article provides a statistical analysis of the data on accounting for penalty corners in field hockey. As in many team sports, one of the decisive moments and a very important playing situation is the penalty corners. Of the total number of goals scored in international competitions, during penalty corners, one third of them lead to a goal. The article presents the results of the successful delivery of a penalty corner, and its correct performance, which depends on three main components: 1) the player performing the pass from the penalty corner, 2) the player stopping the ball behind the line of the penalty space and 3) the player performing a shot on goal (Fig. 1). It has been confirmed that the first components are the most stable, although their implementation is equal to or more important than the last phase. It is the shot on goal phase that has a large number of variations, since it can be performed both with a direct shot on goal and with playing on the field
