Offside

Offside is a rule that prohibits a player from being too far forward. The specifics of offside in each major code vary. The most important rule is that no player can be more forward than the opposing team. This rule is intended to protect the game from dangerous situations and keep it fair. There are many exceptions.

Offside play requires that a player be at least five metres from the goal line and must be in front of the kicker. A player who is not onside will be penalized and forced to run back to their original position.

Line-outs

There are exceptions, however. If the kick is directed into touch, it cannot bounce before crossing the line. If the ball is not in touch, it must remain within the 22m zone on the other side.

Kick-offs

Kick-off is the start of a rugby league game. The team with possession of the ball will attempt to move it up the pitch by either passing the ball backwards or kicking it. The kicker will place the ball in the kicker's hands. Players should line up behind the kicker. Once the ball is in possession, players are able to chase after it but must be in the correct position for the kick-off.


Kick-off is a crucial part of the game. To kick it off, the opposing team must move at least 10m beyond the field. The ideal kick off should be high and travel 10 metres. If that is not possible, the team could try a squibkicking.

Drop-kicks

Drop-kicks, a special type or kick that can be used for many purposes in rugby league, are an example of this. They are commonly used to restart the game after a lose or to kick the field goal. Drop kicks are only worth one point. However, they can be very important during close matches or at halftime.

Drop-kicks are required to restart play at the goal line in case the goal-line was breached or the ball has been declared dead in the in goal area. The ball must travel at most 10m if it is successful in a drop-kick. This kick is one the most efficient ways to score rugby league points. It is worth three points if it succeeds.

Touch-in goal line

Touch-in goals is a term to describe the area of the ground where a player, or ball, must touch in order for the play to be declared 'out. This area does NOT include the goal-posts or padding that is at the ground's level. Also, it is not possible to score a try at the feet of the goal-posts.

Touch-in-goal refers to the point at which a ball or player crosses the touch line in the opposing's goal area. The point of entry is when the ball crosses touch-in-goal. A forward pass, charge-down or touch-in-goal kick does not count as a knock on.

"Riding Down Hills": To ride downhill you have to first learn how stop yourself from falling. You do this by pushing your legs against the ground, pulling your back leg upwards and kicking your front foot forward. You keep doing this until you reach the desired speed. You need to keep moving faster so you have to push your legs up and kick forward. Once you reach your speed goal, you can relax and let your legs connect. If you need to slow down, just do the same thing.
