Question Number: 15943

Law 11 - Offside 7/4/2007

RE: Under 15

Kyle Kenney of Ontario , Canada asks...

Is it true..

If one player deeks through all the defenders and there's no second last defender, just the goalie remaining, the attacking player can pass the ball forward to a teammate without it being offside? Is it because he was in an onside position when the ball was deaked through everyone?

Answer provided by Referee Chuck Fleischer

Kyle, you seem to keep asking questions about offside. Those questions demonstrate you have little understanding of Law 11 yet you say you're a referee. I'm confused.

There is a little box in the upper right of the home page, it deals with offside. Please read it, it gives a way to evaluate offside position and offside offence.

Thanks,
