What is the rule regulating the offensive teams presence in the defensive half of the field?
Offsides
Timing is Crucial
This rule was created to prevent offensive players from "cherry picking" near the opponents' goal. Without the rule, offensive players could hover near their opponents' goal even when the play is on the other side of the field, with the hope of a long pass and an easy goal. The offside rule applies at the moment the ball is touched or passed, not when the ball is received. Therefore, if the offensive player who will receive the pass is onside at the time the ball is touched, then runs past the defender before receiving the pass, the receiving offensive player is not offside, and the play is legal.
This player was a long time Boston Breakers captain and lives in Boston.

What strategy do defensive teams use to get offensive team offsides?
The Offsides Trap.
Setting a Trap
A common strategy for the defensive team is to play what is called an offside trap, in which the defenders try to draw the opponent offside by running forward right before a potential pass, thereby causing the furthest forward offensive player to be closer to the goal line than the second-to-last defender. The offside trap can backfire, however, if the defenders do not get ahead of the receiving offensive player before the pass is made or if the officials do not call offside. If the receiving offensive player is even — or "level" — with the defenders at the moment of the pass, the player is onside, which can result in the receiving player being wide open if the defenders continue to move away from the goal line.

What can we do to handle teams that press the trap or stay offsides. Pick 2 options.
1. Pull the Trap as a unit and make it clear that the player is offsides to the referee.
2. Be aware of how the referee is going to call off-sides. As we witnessed with the Stars the referees got tired of calling it and allowed them to play the ball continuously in the 2nd half.
3. Know the speed and skill of the player(s) off side and keep an equal or stronger player on them.
