Rule on restarts

From the league rules

After a goal is scored/resetting the game

[]The scoring team is the team that has just scored a goal.
[]The conceding team is the team that has just allowed a goal to the opposing team.

[]In case of the ball ricocheting from the goal past half court, the conceding team must possess the ball before scoring team can possess it. The ref can instruct for the ball be passed back across half court
[]After a goal is scored, the scoring team must return to their own goal area and cannot come back across center court until the ball or any player of the conceding team has come past center court.
[*]The conceding team takes possession of the ball. No conceding player with or without the ball can then pass half court until at least two players of the scoring team have returned to their goal area, one of these players can be a ‘goalie’ who was already in the goal area. *In the case of the scoring team taking undue time returning to their goal, the referee can call ‘game on’. Likewise, in the case of the conceding team taking undue time taking the ball past half court, the ref can call ‘game on’.*
[*]A player is not required to tap out for a foot-down after a goal has been scored but must return to their goal area.

so, to stop a quick counter attack, after scoring you could hang around in the opponents half until your two team mates were in good defensive positions, within your half, then cross the half way line and wait just within your own half for just scored on team to attack?

According to the rules, not really.

I agree with

personally i would like all 6 players to be withing their own Ds before play resumes, so each goal was clearly defined by a passage of play. Other wise quick goal retaliation could become quite messy on small courts such as downham.

which is why I've always included a full return to goal area in any rules I've written. But I acknowledge that the rest of the world plays the half court rule which in my view could open the potential to penalize the team that was just scored on even more.
