Three situations when a player is not offside when he receives the ball are:
1. Directly from a goal kick.
2. Directly from a corner-kick.
3. Directly from a throw-in.
4. Nearer to his opponents’ goal line than both the ball and the second last opponent.
5. The ball is placed on the penalty mark, 11 metres away from the goal line.
6. The defending goal-keeper shall stand on the goal line between the goal posts until the ball is kicked.
7. The players shall be within the field of play but outside the penalty areas and atleast 10 yards from and behind the penalty mark until the ball is kicked.
