Without the rule, offensive players could hover near their opponents' goal even when the play is on the other side of the field, with the hope of a long pass and an easy goal. The offside rule applies at the moment the ball is touched or passed, not when the ball is received.
Explain to the kids that this means that a player can be in an offside position but he does not commit an offense unless he touches the ball, interfered with an opponent or otherwise gains an advantage by being in the position. Have the players demonstrate examples of gaining an advantage to make the example clear.emonstrate the offside position to the kids. To be in an offside position, the offensive player needs to be closer to the opposing team's net than the second to last defender, and must be closer to the net than the ball. Have two kids act as defenders and one as the offensive player.
