| Offside Trap in football easy explanation |
Defenders, generally, no matter how many there are, 3-4, form a line type formation around strikers as shown in the diagram. This is, so that just when S2 passes the ball to S1 then defenders, D1, D2, D3 and D4 move foreward from the last defender's position, who is S1 here, so that to make it an offside.
Remember, offside foul is given according to the position of strikers when the ball is passed, therefore to execute offside trap, the decision should also be made before the ball is passed otherwise the trap fails and it puts the team in a risky situation. I will always suggest to execute offside trap only among defenders which are experienced playing together. That is because offside trap is more of a coordination strategy and coordination is best among players who have expirience of playing together.

Generally the defender in the middle takes the decision whether to form an offside trap or not. But that is not always complusory. Any defender can take the decision but he or she has to be very sure about the position of opponent's striker.
