You have team red and team blue. Team red are heading towards the goals to score. Team Red Player A has the ball he wishes to pass it to Team Read Player B, whilst Player A has the ball Player B needs to make sure he is behind Team Blue's players, if he is in front of them he is offside. Once Player A kicks the ball towards Player B, Player B is now allowed to move beyond Team Blue's players and head towards the goal with his ball. It isn't an easy rule to explain.
