In order to generate success in polo, it is crucial to position yourself appropriately at the penalty line to give yourself the best possible scoring opportunity.
Here’s an example of how to position your team for a Penalty 4 resulting in a goal:
A penalty hit at the ball by the team fouled from the center of the 40 yard line nearest the fouling team's goal. All players of the team fouled are to be behind the 40 yard line unless they are off the field or returning to their proper position. All members of the fouling team shall be positioned behind the back line, outside of the goal, until the ball is hit or hit at. The penalty is to be undefended, no member of the fouling team may enter the field from behind the backline.
