4. U08 and below - no offside rule. HOWEVER, If a team consistently positions a player at the opponent's goal then the referee may stop play and instruct the player and the coach to stop. If this continues, the referee may stop play and award an indirect kick to the other team.

------ Point of emphasis: -------
LAW III PLAYER RESTRICTIONS , SectionC. Playing Time: (Coaches Responsibility)
a. Each player will receive meaningful playing time with a goal of 50%. Substitutions will be
allowed in order to give an opportunity for all players to get equal playing time and to balance
rather than to run up the score.
Here is an offside video that is really good for giving the basic instruction of offside and is easy to understand for anyone who is new to the FIFA law.
