Got Offside Questions?

[jc508]

The topic I have to approach this time is Offside. I wanted to make a short quiz on clarifying some of the myths of Offside.

What would be the most commonly misunderstood aspects of Law 11 in your opinion? What aspects of the law are not really understood by coaches?

I shall presume that most parents have no clue, but they are getting better.

Any ideas or questions I could include would be appreciated.

Most commonly misunderstood, in my experience:

1. That the player has to be in an offside position when the ball is played, not when the ball is received.

2. The difference between being in an offside position and committing a foul.

3. That a good AR, who is hustling and in position, has a better view than a coach or parent on the other side of midfield.
