    An attacking player is called offsides when receiving a forward pass from a teammate, if there are not at least two opponents (usually one defender and the goalkeeper) ahead of the receiver—that is, between the attacking player and the opponents' goal line. A player cannot be ruled offside when receiving the ball from a throw-in or if the player is in his or her own half of the field. The referee or the referee's assistants determine offsides infractions and signal them by waving their flags and pointing to the spot where the infraction occurred. An indirect free kick from the point of infraction is then awarded to the defending team.
