Which five defenders stay in the goal in a field hockey penalty corner?
Awesomeperson1012
The goalkeeper (if there is one) is required to be a defender at the penalty corner.
The fullbacks (normally two, sometimes three) will remain with them.
The remaining places are usually taken by the halves, though rarely a forward may need to in case of tiredness, injury or suspension (as new players cannot be brought on by rule).
It should be noted that the defenders are not required to be in the goal at the penalty corner; they may in fact be anywhere behind the backline and without five metres from the ball. However there is a tactical advantage in keeping all defenders in the goal at the beginning of the play.

They must remain behind the goal/centre line until an attacker injects the ball back into play from a point on the backline at least 10 metres from the goal but within the circle. There is no limit to how many attackers in the team on the field can take part in a penalty corner. The corner is complete when a goal is scored, the ball goes out of play, another penalty corner or a penalty stroke is awarded or the ball travels either 5 metres from the circle or outside it more than once. A goal cannot be scored until the ball has left the circle from the initial injection.In the modern game, they are very good scoring opportunities, and hence are usually looked for by attackers while heavily disputed by defenders.
