| Offside Position |
| |
It is not an offence in itself
to be in an offside position. A player is in an offside position if:
- he is nearer to his opponents’ goal
line than both the ball and the second last opponent.
A player is not in an offside position if
- he is in his own half of the field of play or
- he is level with the second last opponent or
- he is level with the last two opponents.

| Offence |
| |
A player in an offside position
is only penalised if, at the moment the ball touches or is played
by one of his team, he is, in the opinion of the referee, involved
in active play by:
- interfering with play or
- interfering with an opponent or
- gaining an advantage by being in that position.
