What is the football offside trap?
An offside trap is when the second-last defender, seeing an attacker just barely onside, moves quickly upfield just before the attacker's teammate passes the ball to him. As long as the move is made just prior to the pass, the attacker will find himself in an offside position and if he becomes involved in play, will be called offside without realizing he was in that position.
The offside trap is an advanced tactic can doesn't always work. It relies on the attacker being unaware of the defender's movements, and having the assistant referee in the correct position to make the call. If the defender realizes what is about to happen, he may remove himself from the play and let an onside teammate play the ball, or may himself get onside before the pass is made. This leaves the defender out of position to defend against the attack, and often leads to a one-on-one play for the goal.

What are cautionable offenses?
A yellow card is shown to a player or substitute to signal they are being cautioned. A caution is given for misconduct. Misconduct may, or may not be, a foul. For example, it would not be a foul to delay the restart of play but it would be misconduct.
A player or substitute is cautioned if they commit any of these:
- unsporting behavior
- dissent by word or action
- persistent infringement of the Laws of the Game
- delaying the restart of play
- failure to respect the required distance when play is restarted with a corner kick, free kick, or throw-in
- entering or re-entering the field of play without the referee's permission
- deliberately leaving the field of play without the referee's permission
Under the FIFA Laws of the Game a cautioned player may continue to play. Under NFHS (US High School rules) a cautioned player must leave the field of play and may be substituted for.
The referee shows a player a yellow card for a first offence in football. A second offence in the same match will result in being shown a second yellow card, and immediately shown the red card and sent off the field. There are various grades of offences, so the referee has to make a judgement.

What are the four steps in correction soccer?
1. Stop Practice - The coach stops play when the ball is out of bounds, when there is a foul, when a player asks a question, when a player's action requires immediate attention, or when something good happens.
2. Freeze the Concept - The coach delivers quick, direct information in a positive manner.
3. Restart Practice - The coach restarts play, first in slow motion to demonstrate the skill or correction described in Step 2, then at normal game speed. Practice could be restarted at the same point it was stopped.
4. Assess and Adjust - The coach reflects on what has occurred. Specifically, whether the coaching is having an effect on the players, what the root cause of the problem addressed might be, and how to make the practice simulate a real game as much as possible.
Can you still pass from a penalty kick nowadays?
Yes you can, as long as the penalty kicker kicks it forward, even if only slightly forward, then another player may finish. Note: It would be equally likely that a defender could arrive first. The penalty kicker would not be allowed a second touch to prevent the interception.
If an attacker [only] infringes the referee will wait for the result of the penalty kick. If the kick enters the goal, a rekick will be awarded. If the kick does not enter the goal, the restart will be an indirect free kick for the defense at the location where the player entered.
If an attacker was fouled in the penalty area by anyone on the defending team, including the goalkeeper, then the resulting restart would be a penalty kick from the penalty mark for the team that was fouled.
In this instance, it seems to point to a foul.
