Under the IFAB Laws of the Game, offside is covered under a single law, Law 11, which constitutes a single rule. It is possible to break down this law into four constituent parts, and one way to do so is as follows:
- A player is in an offside position if he is nearer to the opponent's goal line than the ball, the second-last defender, and the halfway line.
- A player is called offside if he is in an offside position at the moment the ball was last played by a teammate, and becomes involved in play by playing the ball, interfering with an opponent, or gaining an advantage by being in that position.
- A player cannot be called offside directly after a throw-in, corner kick, or goal kick.
- The referee may play advantage if the offending team would benefit from a stoppage in play, or if the defending team would benefit from continued play.
There is one offside rule in soccer, and it is that a player cannot be involved in a play without at least two defenders (including the goalkeeper) between himself and the opposing goal. This not only means he can't receive a pass while in this position, it also means that he can't impede the goalkeeper while another player takes a shot on goal.
A common misconception is that it is illegal to dribble the ball from an onside position to an offside position. Also, it is legal to run to a ball that is kicked into an offside position, as long as the player receiving the ball was in an onside position before the ball was kicked.
A player is in an offside position when they are on the opponent's half of the field and closer to the opponent's goal line than both the 2nd last opponent and the ball.
If is not necessarily an offense to be in an offside position.
Two things are considered in an offside scenario .The person who is passing the ball and the position of the receiver with respect to the last defender (not the goalkeeper ) .So the moment a player hits the ball for a pass , at that instant if the receiver is even a little bit behind the last defender , offside would be called . Offside Call is given by the linesman

What are the offside rules of 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
