Offside animations:
.
-
A number of years ago I developed a series of animations showing offside situations to help
entry-level students understand the basic concepts of offside position, involvement in active play,
and the fact that a player identified as being in an offside position is “vulnerable” to being penalized
if s/he does get involved in active play before the offside position is reset, regardless of the time
between the initial determination of offside position and the determination of involvement in active play.
The students really seem to benefit from the animations (judging from the comments I get).
These animations were generated as flash-animations using SwishMax. The animations run in your browser, as long as you have the Adobe Flash Player installed. If your browser ask for permission to run Active-X controls, please grant it, or the animations will not run. (Note - this will depend on the security settings for your browser.)
The Zip-file with the whole set of animations (>30 individual sequences) is available here.
The Help file (pdf) is available here.
