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

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.
