No Offside. I have seen several teams with set plays that use players in an offside position, but do not violate Law 11. The plays are usually successful in at least getting a shot on goal and sometimes scoring. Of course the spectators and sometimes the opposing coach yell like crazy for offside. I recently saw a B18 team score two goals off of Offside set plays. You could tell they worked on the two, similar but different, set plays.
And more importantly, defenders.Practicing set plays like that is a good way to teach attackers the dynamics of the offside rules.
And more importantly, defenders.
Works great if you have a good ref crew. A disaster if they are asleep.My son's BU9 team (2000? Was it that long ago?) practiced an active offside trap on opponent's free kicks by running up just before the kick to put the opponent's highest attackers offside.
If you’re basing the offside on the #32 it should have been an offside, because he got involved in the play even though he didn’t touch the ball or interfere in the play. The mere movement towards the ball made him be involved in the play. He was not offside because when the ball was kicked, #32 was not on an offside position. IMO.
Nothing the player in an offside position did impacted the defenders' ability to play the ball (other than them erroneously thinking it was offside and deciding to do nothing to respond to the play, which does not qualify. )If you’re basing the offside on the #32 it should have been an offside, because he got involved in the play even though he didn’t touch the ball or interfere in the play.

Edit: And the counter to that is to have a runner coming in after the defense steps. Under the old rules, you'd probably see an offside call as soon as the ball was near a player that got left behind by the backline. Under the new rules, a late runner can come in while everyone else has their hand up looking for the call.
As you stated, “interpretation “. Clearly it’s up to anyone to interpret if he was moving towards the ball to be involved in play. But As I stated before, he was not offside when his teammate kicked the ball. In my “interpretation”Not with the latest interpretation of Law 11. He did not play the ball or interfere. Just because a player may move in the direction of the ball does not mean the violated Law 11. The ball actually goes behind the player as he stepped forward to get out of the way of the player with the ball. Clearly no offside violation.
