Question Number: 16107Law 11 - Offside 7/24/2007RE: select Under 16 megan of san fransisco, california america asks...When is it possible for a player to be offsides? Answer provided by Referee Ben Mueller Megan .... there are 2 parts to offside. Being in an offside position and interfering in play. Offside position means = 1. Closer to goal line than ball and 2nd last defender and 2. On attacking half. Now if a player is in an offside position, they are only penalized if they get involved with play. Merely being in an offside postion does not make a player guility as they must interfere with play. There are 3 ways to get involved in play.....1. Interfere with opponent, 2. Interfere with play, or 3. Gain an advantage by being in that position.
