Thomas Schaller of River Forest, IL United States asks...

So for the competitive youth level I would not be wrong to instruct my ARs to flag for offside as soon as the attacker in an offside position is becoming active and might get to the ball first? I just hate to wait to see who gets to the ball first wh...
