Offside Q&A
It is not an offense in itself to be in an offside position.
A player in an offside position is only penalized if, at the moment the ball touches or is played by one
of his/her team, he/she is, in the opinion of the referee, involved in active play by:
• interfering with play
• interfering with an opponent
• gaining an advantage by being in that position Return

Offside Position vs. Infraction
It is not an offense in itself to be in an offside position.
A player in an offside position is only penalized if, at the moment the ball touches or is played by one
of his/her team, he/she is, in the opinion of the referee, involved in active play by:
• interfering with play
• interfering with an opponent
• gaining an advantage by being in that position
So what’s the answer?
Neither “A” nor “B” should be penalized for offside.
Although “B” is now in an offside position, he/she should not be penalized unless he/she becomes involved in active play.
Let’s see what happens next.
