Can you be offside from a goal kick?

Eh...?

I've seen something similar tried on a Sunday League pitch, but that was from open play. Basically the team in question tried to defend so far up the pitch, almost on the half-way line, that the other team were all boxed up in their own half.

It may have worked had their defenders been a bit quicker.

No, but I'd assume the team with the free kick would all just get behind the ball also. And then the free kick taker could kick the ball 30 yards up the pitch and hope there's someone on his team fast enough to get to the ball; someone who could then have a clear run in on goal.

Would be interesting to see in action, something like that. It's definitely legal, anyway.

I've always wondered, when the opposing team have a free kick or something, why the entire team don't just get behind the ball. Everyone would be offside. Is there some rule against that?

Yes

A goal kick is just the same as an indirect free kick?
