Good luck and hope your kid has fun.

Corner kick - when the ball goes off of a defensive player and out along their endline (the line along the goal)

Penalty Kick - if you mean the kick from ten yards away from the goal, it must be a foul in the box that sorrounds the goal (up to 18 yards away from the goal).

There are other free kicks for penalties at the spot of the foul throughout the game as well.

Offsides - I've always thought of it as a strategic rule that adds to the beauty of the game - otherwise there would be a bunch of cherry picking attempts going on. Is offsides dumb in college football or the NFL?

Again, I'm not knowledgable enough to know what it would be like to not have the offsides rule, but it seems like if the offensive player got too close to the defenders, all they would have to do is run up the field and boom, an offsides penalty.
