I assume you a line judge---
You should call it when it occurs--- dont wait for the snap to get off.the flag.. I am in Iraq and dont have my NF rule book and will miss this whole season but---
Offsides is a loose term as well---
If defense lines up in neutral zone or offense lines up in the neutral zone do your best to talk them out of it particularly if they are out near you--
The younger the players the more likely you are to talk them out of it---
If it is a minor infraction you may just go in after a play and tell them that they are lining up too close to -look at the ball and line up right- I normally tell them a couple of times, but it still needs to be pretty obvious--
The line judge should be telling the receivers where the line starts so they are not in the neutral zone unless they jump there---( along wiht finding who is on or who is off for the eligible receiver)
we are not ther to throw the flag on every nitpicky " he lined -up wrong" penalty---
If you are new work with your Referee--- go to other games and walk the sidelines with an experience R or find a school who will let you run the chains to get down there and see how others handle it--
