You are not guilty of an offside infraction if you receive the ball directly from a throw-in by a team-mate, the defender deflection would still count as "the throw-in" unless they controlled the ball first. Even if they did control the ball, you are not guilty of an offside infraction if an opposing player passed it.

What are the rules of offside in soccer?
If a player of a team is on the other side of the field behind all the players (or behind the defenders) but still in front of the goalie, then this person is in an offside position. This, however, is NOT offside. It is not against the law of soccer to be in an offside position. Now say that person is in an offside position and his/her teammate passed the ball to him/her and that person plays or touches the ball, that is considered offside. That is illegal in the law of soccer. Say the other teammate passed the ball to his/her teammate in an offside position but the person doesn't make a move to go for the ball, then that isn't considered offsides, and therefor is not considered illegal in the law of soccer. A player in an offside position is only penalised if, at the moment the ball touches or is played by one of their team, they are , 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 In doing this the attacking player will between the last defender and the defending goalkeeper when the ball is played to them . If the attacking player is in line with a defending player (not the goalkeeper) then no offside offence has been committed
Offside in hockey?
No player is allowed to enter the attacking zone ahead of the puck. If they do, they are offside and play is stopped and there is a face-off in the neutral zone. If the puck leaves the attacking (offensive) zone all players on the attacking team need to "touch up" by going back to the neutral zone before bringing the puck back in. If the puck is brought in offside but controlled by the defending team it results in a delayed offside. The offside will then only be called if an attacking player touches the puck. If the defending team brings the puck back out of their zone the offside is negated and they are allowed to continue playing the puck.
What does it mean if you say a player is off sides in soccer?
When a player is offside it means that they are past the last defender* when the ball is kicked. So for example if we have to teams, blue and red, the blue defenders are all standing in a line, but a red attacker is standing behind them( close to the blue teams goals) and a red teammate kicks the ball to the red attacker. If the red attacker is behind the last blue defender than they are offside if they are standing in front of the last blue defender when the ball is kicked they are onside. It's hard to explain without a diagram. Offsides were created to stop players from just standing near the oppositions goal and waiting for the ball to be lobbed over to them (also known as cherry picking). Offsides are one of the most controversial elements in football as they are easy to get wrong and may result in goals. If a player is offside the opposition gets a free kick from where the player was called offside. Hope this made a little bit more sense. *the goalkeeper is actually the last defender so technically it is the second last defender

What is the football offside trap?
An offside trap is when the second-last defender, seeing an attacker just barely onside, moves quickly upfield just before the attacker's teammate passes the ball to him. As long as the move is made just prior to the pass, the attacker will find himself in an offside position and if he becomes involved in play, will be called offside without realizing he was in that position. The offside trap is an advanced tactic can doesn't always work. It relies on the attacker being unaware of the defender's movements, and having the assistant referee in the correct position to make the call. If the defender realizes what is about to happen, he may remove himself from the play and let an onside teammate play the ball, or may himself get onside before the pass is made. This leaves the defender out of position to defend against the attack, and often leads to a one-on-one play for the goal.
What is offside in football?
In soccer, an attacking player is offside if he or she is in an offside position at the moment his or her teammate plays the ball, and becomes involved in the play. A player is in an offside position if he or she is ahead of the ball and ahead of the penultimate defender. Note that a player cannot be in an offside position on his or her own half of the field, or if he or she is level with the penultimate defender (usually the goalkeeper and one defender, but can be any two members of the defending team) or with the ball. Note that it is not an offense to be in an offside position. To become involved with the play and be called for offside, a player must become involved with the play by playing (touching) the ball, interfering with an opponent, or by otherwise gaining an advantage from being in that position. A player cannot be called offside if he or she receives the ball directly from a throw-in, corner kick, goal kick, or kick-off, nor from a deliberate play by a member of the opposing team (this last bit is the result of a revision effective in 2013, but has nearly always been enforced this way). The reason that these exclusions exist is because the Laws were not written to accommodate tactical errors by the opposing team., and players are expected to be ready for these restarts. In the event of an infraction, play is stopped and restarted with an indirect free kick for the defending team at the location of the offside player at the moment that his or her teammate played the ball (not where he or she became involved with play).
How should defenders position themselves when their own forwards are trying to score?
All defenders should stay on the middle line of the field except one who will serve as a back up in case the ball comes back.Thank youCorrectionAll the defenders should push up to be at or near midfield. No defender except the goalkeeper should be back. Remember that the defenders will, in general, form a fairly straight line (across the field) because anything else may leave a defender behind his own line of defensive team-mates. And that defender, because he is behind his team-mates, is the new "second-to-last defender" and will be the offside mark. This allows an attacking player to get behind a defender in another portion of the field and still be onside. Any ball played up ("kicked up") in the area where the attacker has slipped past the defender (but is still onside because of the other defender is "playing back to be a back up") will almost certainly be swooped on by that attacker and a clear advantage will appear. That forward is off to the races because the defender near him is now behind him. He's going to the ball and has nothing in front of him but the keeper and the goal. The defender who has stayed back has created an opportunity for the other team. Not a smart thing to do. Defenders generally move up and back as a unit to create the offside line. Spend a few minutes watching a top flight soccer match and evaluating the location and movement of the backs. The defenders form a fairly straight line across the field and move up and back pretty much in that line. They know instinctively that the furthest back of their number is the second-to-the-last defender, and no single one of them will permit himself to "play back to be a back up" because it sets up the dangerous condition described above. Anyone who had properly coached defenders or has played in the back on a competitive team knows it can be a fatal error to have a defender "playing back to be a back up."And you're welcome.

How does offsides work in a soccer match?
You are in an "off-side position" if you are: 1. On on the opposing team's half of the field and... 2. Neither one of these things is between you and the opposing team's goal: (1) two opposing players (one is normally the goalkeeper) or (2) the ball.However.....being in an off-side position does not make you off-side (and therefore the referee will not call an off-side penalty on you) until you are involved in an active play. A very good explanation of the concepts of off-side position and off-side can be found here: http://www.soccerhelp.com/Soccer_Tips_Dictionary_Terms_O.shtml#offside_rule_detailed That site also includes a good explanation of the exceptions to the off-side rule and since I cannot come up with better wording, here is a direct quote from the site: "Special Cases Where Offside Is Not Called: A player is not offside if he receives the ball directly from a goal kick, throw-in or corner kick, even if he is in an offside position; however, once touched, the offside rule starts and if it is then played to a player in an "offside position", offside may be called. (Note that the offside rule does apply on "free kicks"). A player is also not offside if he passes the ball backward, even if doing so leaves him in an "offside position". However, if he is in an offside position & the ball is played back to him (e.g., a wall pass), then he can be called offside." == == == == Previous answers.....There must be a defender between the attacking player and the goal keeper when the attacking player recieves the ball, otherwise he/she is offside There must be a defender between the attacking player and the goal keeper when the attacking player recieves the ball, otherwise he/she is offside no there must be two players (one of whom is normally the goalkeeper) between the attacker and the goal line WHEN THE BALL IS PLAYED, and if the attacker is in the opponent's half of the field
