Question Number: 27883Law 11 - Offside 10/13/2013RE: Rec Under 15 Wilson vargas of Weston, Fl Broward asks...Attacker A is in an offside position, attacker b has the ball and decides to dribble, passes the defense and goes all the way to the goal line, then passes the ball to attacker A who scores, in my opinion this is not offside because now attacker A is between the ball and the goal line, but the ref called offside is he right? Answer provided by Referee Joe McHugh Hi Wilson The actions by Attacker B has begun a new phase of play. I'm not sure what you mean by ''attacker A is between the ball and the goal line'' If Attacker A is in an onside position by being behind the ball from the pass by Attacker B there cannot be any offside. If Attacker A is ahead of the ball from the pass by Attacker B and there is no 2nd opponent between A and the goal line that is offside.

Once B dribbled the ball past the second last defender, offside position is judged on the final element - - whether A is closer to the opponent's goal line than the ball (when the ball is touched to played by a teammate). If at the time of the last touch, the ball was on the goal line, then A cannot be in an offside position because he is not closer to the goal line than the ball.

View Referee Dennis Wickham profileAnswer provided by Referee Keith Contarino The important thing is the position of Player A at the moment Player B passes the ball to Player A. If Attacker A is no longer nearer the opposing goal line than both the next to last opponent and the ball, he is no longer in an offside position and the goal should be allowed. If Attacker A is still in an offside position when B passes the ball to him, no goal.
