What is offensive?

An offensive foul is a foul committed by the team with the ball. For an example: if someone with the ball runs into someone one the defensive team, the ref may call an offensive foul (also known as "charging"). How ever if the defensive player wants to draw those type of fouls they need to "plant their feet" meaning they cannot move their feet, they must be still.But the rule is not perfect, sometimes they ref may call defensive foul (also known as "blocking"). Most blocks are called if the defensive player wouldn't set his feet, immediately jumps in their way, or stand in the "restriction area" (the arc shaped thing under the goal), those should be obvious blocks. NOTE:offensive fouls result in a turn over (other team gets ball).

What is pass interference in flag football?

In general, interference is a deliberate act, with contact, to impede a receiver from catching a pass...or an act by a receiver to prevent defensing a pass (offensive pass interference). It is most often hitting or grabbing the receiver before the pass arrives, or a receiver shoving a defender away. If the pass has not been thrown when a defensive penalty occurs, the lesser penalty of illegal contact will apply instead. The rules are different in each level of play (high school, NCAA, NFL), as are the penalties applied.
