Question Number: 27860Law 11 - Offside 10/7/2013RE: rec Under 9 todd douglas of phila, pa usa asks...A more experienced ref told me today, you can't be offsides on a goal kick. Is this true? Answer provided by Referee Gary Voshol Absolutely. And it's been that way for years. Offside does not apply at 3 restarts - goal kick, corner kick, and throw-in.
It's also physically impossible at kickoffs and penalty kicks, because no one is allowed to be in an offside position when those kicks are taken.

There is no offside directly from a throw in, goal kick, corner kick. Easy way to remember this is that when the ball goes out of play over a touchline or a goal line there is no offside from any of those restarts.

View Referee Joe McHugh profileAnswer provided by Referee Keith Contarino Yes Todd and as a certified referee you absolutely have to know Law 11 cold. Memorize it if you have to but that short Law gets more misunderstood as time goes by. At least remember the easy parts like no offside on goal kick, corner kick, throw-in.
