It is not an offence in itself to be in an offside position.
A player is in an offside position if:
he is nearer to his opponents' goal line than both the ball and the second last opponent
A player is not in an offside position if:
he is in his own half of the field of play
he is level with the second last opponent
he is level with the last two opponents
Commiting an Offside Offence
A player in an offside position is only penalised if, at the moment the ball touches or is played by one of his team, he is, in the opinion of the referee, involved in active play by:
interfering with play
interfering with an opponent
gaining an advantage by being in that position
No Offence
There is no offside offence if a player receives the ball directly from:
a goal kick
a throw-in
a corner kick
Infringements/Sanctions
For any offside offence, the referee awards an indirect free kick to the opposing team to be taken from the place where the infringement occurred.

Once youre in the opposition's half, imagine there is a horizontal line the width of the field where the ball is. There has to be a defender between the person you pass to and the goal line when you pass the ball if that person is in front of the imaginary line. Unless the person you pass to is behind the line when it is considered a back pass and then cant be offside. You cant actually be 'onside' youre either offside or not offside. Does that help?

It simply means that you haven't got anyone between you and the goalkeeper when the ball is given to you...hence you are behind the imaginary line of the offside...
In that instance the referre whistles for offside and gives the opponent team a free kick...

offside is when you are past the defense at the time your partner passes the ball (an example could be football when a player passes the line of scrimmage before the quarterback says hike)

an attacking player must have at least one defender in line with or behind him [between the attacker and the opposing goalkeeper] at the time when the ball is played towards him i.e. when he 'interferes' with play
note: this is only applicable if the striker is in the opponent's half....you cannot be offside in ur own half.
that's the simplest way i can find to put it.
hope it helped.

In American Football - both offense and defense teams
come to the 'line of scrimmage'
if a member - gets on the other's side prior to the snap-
their team gets a 5 yard penalty - and we replay the down

when a player is going for goal, if there is no player from the opposition between him and the goalie, then he is offside

Jumping the line of scrimmage before the snap.

It means you cannot keep blasting the ball towards the goal, whilst the strikers are goal hanging.... simple.
