One of the laws that govern association football is called the offsides policy. Offsides are when a player crosses the line between the last two lines of defenders. Law 11 of the Laws of the Game codifies the rule of offside. It also applies for goal kicks.
When a player goes over the last defender, offsides are activated
The offsides rules prevent teams from making stupid mistakes and limit the number of breakaways. A player is in an offside position if he is outside the last line of defenders and is not involved in the play. FIFA sets the rules.
Interfering with active play
Interfering or obstructing active soccer is when a person blocks another player’s line of sight. A player is not in violation of the rules if he is in an offside position or he is not touching the ball passed to him by another teammate. Also, the player cannot touch the ball or advance it in any way that interferes with the game of the other team.
Being in this position can give you an advantage
The offside position of a football player is crucial. Offside positions require that the player be in front of the ball and near the goal line than the 2LD. While in an offside position, the player must be able and willing to interfere with play. Sometimes, however, the player doesn't need to be involved in the game. An indirect free kick can be awarded to an offsider.
Goal kicks
Offside refers to any violation of the offside rules in soccer. It is when an offensive player crosses the goalie's path while making a kick. It can also occur when a teammate contacts or interferes in the ball's final destination.
Throw-ins
Throw-ins are critical to soccer matches, as they force the ball back into the field of play. A teammate who made the last touch to the ball is referred to as the thrower, and the thrower tosses the ball to the receiving teammate who continues the play. If the thrower makes a mistake or fumbles, the ball will again be thrown. The opposing team then gets the ball and can begin its offensive play.
Outside the box
You may be asking yourself if "offsides", the right term, is appropriate for this situation. The answer is a resounding "yes," but the term has many nuances. First, the term refers only to the area where a player cannot enter. It doesn't apply to throw-ins or in an opponent's half of the field.

Football is most commonly known as association football. It is played by two teams of 11 players and takes place on a pitch divided into three areas: an attacking, defensive, and neutral zone. Each player wears a unique number on his shirt and plays only one half of the field at a time. Players may wear any type of footwear except cleats.

What size soccer ball should I buy?
It is best to measure yourself before you decide how large a soccerball you need. To do this, stand straight with your arms relaxed at your sides. Use a tape measure to measure around your chest, just below your armpits. This measurement will give you the circumference around your torso. Divide this number with 2 and multiply that by 5. Take 40 inches as an example. Divide 40 by 2 then multiply by 5, which will give you 20. This is the circumference of an sphere of 20 inches in diameter. This formula can be used to calculate the size of your soccer ball.
