0:00 Overview
0:23 The “2nd Last Defender”
0:50 Three Main Points
1:05 The Key Moment (Most Important!)
1:50 Cannot Be Offside When Behind the Ball
2:15 No Offsides during Throw-Ins, Corner Kicks & in your own half
2:33 Review + Note on Deflections
Offside Rule Summary:
1. Offside position = when ahead of (*see 2) both the ball & the 2nd last defender
2. *"Ahead of" does not include arms and hands
3. Foul is called when player becomes active in play (i.e. receives a pass, blocks goalkeeper's view, impedes an opposing player)
4. No offsides during throw-ins, goal kicks, corner kicks, or in the player's own half
5. Pass must be from a teammate for offside to be considered
6. Key moment is "When the ball is PASSED, NOT WHEN IT'S RECEIVED!"
7. Deflections off a player or a post are not considered; the key moment would still be the original pass (this includes a goalkeeper making a save: the rebound position is not considered... only the position of the player as his teammate was taking the original shot)
