Well it is exactly when a player is behind the defenders of the opposite team, but this is not always an offside, the player has to be behind the players at the time of playing the ball towards him, if the player was not in offside at the play of the ball then he can run after it and score a goal which will be be completely legal.. In some cases when a shot is going to the goal and the player in offside gices it an attempt to change its way and score a goal, the goal will be illegal goal and an offside has to be given to the other team. An offside is a way the defenders can limit the the activity of the forwards, therefore u might find a tactic in soccer called the offside trap in which they move and put a forward in offside just when the ball is about to be played to him.\n\nCome on man u cant get any better answer than this choose me plz

if a player is beyond the defence of the opposition while the pass has been made to him, he is declared offside. so this player has to be behind the defensive line of the opposition to eliminate such an advantage.

off sides is breaking the line of scrimmage , encroachment is when a defensive player touches an offensive player before the play starts.

If you are a striker, and you want to excel, you should be aware of the offside rule. It is very easy to avoid.

Dear Jaynicole,\nVery Simple:\nImagine team A is attacking and Team B is defending.for sure there is a space between B defenders and their goalkeeper.OK?\nnow A players should pass the ball to one of their players to score a goal.If the player who is going to receive the ball and score it locate between the above mentioned space,Then he is in Offside.\n\nPlease check the link below on pages 60-66.\nSome possible Offsides are describe by pictures:\n\nhttp://www.fifa.com/documents/fifa/laws/LOTG2005_e.pdf\n\nand also this link : \n http://www.burtrandworld.co.uk/offside-rule.php\n\nBest Regrades.............Iranian Bobby

A player is in an offside position if "he is nearer to his opponents' goal line than both the ball and the second to last opponent", unless he is in his own half of the field of play. A player level with the second last opponent is considered to be in an onside position. Note that the last two defenders can be either the goalkeeper and another defender, or two ordinary defenders. Also note that offside position is determined when the ball is touched/played by a team-mate — a player's offside position status is not then altered by them or defenders running forwards or backwards.

It's when the ball is being played. If it goes to another player on the same team and that player is past the opposition players then it's called an offside.\n\nOr say you have the ball and you pass it to your teammate but your team mate is ahead of all the players on the other team, thats when the assistant referee raises the offside flag.

Very simple in fact.\n\nA person is considered offside if he is in a position where there are not at least 2 players between him and the opponents goal line.\nThese can be ANY 2 players though usually one of these will be the goalkeeper.\n\nThe rule is applied at the moment the ball is PASSED to the player and NOT when he receives it.\n\nSo, if a player in "onside" when a player kicks the ball to him but then advances up the field and the ball reaches him in an offside position then it is ok.\n\nThe reverse also applies. If he is in an offside position when the ball is passed to him and then heads back onside to get the ball then he is still considered offside.\n\nThree more exeptions to the rule.\n\n1. A player can not be offide within his own half of the field.\n\n2. A player is not offside if the ball was passed back by the opposition.\n\n3. A player is not offside if he is behind the ball when it is kicked to him. For example, a player managed to ran to the line and then passed back to a team mate. He can't be offside.

It goes back to the first days of the Premier League. Offside means just that. When a player is past the second last defender, he is Off his Side and therefore not supposed to play the ball.\nWhen I went through referee school, Law 11, which covers Offside, is not even one complete page. BUT.... it had 2 videos, about 100 slides, and took over an hour of class time. But it is one of the most simple laws of soccer/football.

a penalty is when u get a shot from near the goal with just the keeper to beat and offside is when the ball is passed to you when you are nearer the goal than the rest of the defenders

Football is a continuous flowing game i.e. the ball is always being kicked and moved around. However, there are situations when the ball is stopped and one player has time to kick it by himself (usually when there is a foul, offside or the ball crosses the line). Example: Free-kick, Corner-kick, Goal-kick, Throw-in etc. are types of set-pieces.

Imagine a door with two guards:\n\n* If you stay outside and don't try to pass the guards, you're okay.\n* If you try to pass the guards without a key, you'll be arrested.  \n* If you have a key and try to pass the guards, you can enter.\n\nThe offside rule is the same.  \n\n* If there are two opponents between you and the goal (two guards between you and the door), you're onside\n* If you go past the opponents without the ball (past the guards without a key), it's an offside foul.\n* If you have the ball and go past the opponents (you have a key and pass the guards),  you're okay.

To NOT be offside in Futbol (soccer) you must have at least 2 defenders between you and the gola line in the attacking half of the field when the ball is last played by your team mate or you must be behind the ball forcing the play to come back to you.\nBeing in an offside position is not an offense by itself.  To be called offside, you must be in an offside position AND gain an advantage by being involved in the play or interfering with an opponent.
