Offside (sport)
Offside is a rule used by several different team sports regulating aspects of player positioning. It is particularly used in field sports with rules deriving from the various codes of football, such as association football, rugby union and rugby league, and in similar hockey sports e.g. ice hockey, broomball, field hockey and bandy. Purpose of offside rules Offside rules are generally designed to ensure that players play together as a team, and do not consistently position one or a few players near the opponent's goal ('goalhanging') to try to receive a "Hail Mary pass" for an easy goal without opposing players nearby. However, the application and enforcement of offside rules can be complicated, and can sometimes be confusing for new players as well as for spectators.

Offside rules date back to codes of football developed at Englan ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
