Why is the Offside Law Unique?

• The Offside Law is the only law that restricts tactical positioning during dynamic play.

• Over time, the Offside Law has evolved to increase the flow of the attacking game and limit trifling stoppages.

All three elements are required for offside position.10/17/2013

• A player in offside position cannot participate:

Cannot interfere with any opponent

Is therefore temporarily “off his team” (“off his side”)
