Offside - The attacking team may not progress the ball to a player that is past the last defender on the course (this excludes the goalie as a defender) An offside will consist of a the player receiving the ball to have an advantage. A pass from a teammate who has cleared the defensive line is not considered offside.

Goal Keeper Rules - Goal keeper cannot progress past the white line that is about halfway on their own side, doing so and affecting the play will result in a free kick for the opposing team. - During a penalty kick the goalkeeper must start with rear wheels on the white line that indicates if the ball passes into it a goal is scored.
