Ulli:

Some folks are left handed/some right handed.  A right hander would favor
falling in to the left and sweeping out on the right side to roll up.

The favored side is the "on-side."  It is often the side you are "taught" to
roll on.  Instructors often work with one side to get the muscle memory
down.. then send you off to work on the other (off-side) side on your own.

If you prefer to go down on the left and come up on the right (or if you are
more consistent in completing the rool) on that side, as opposed to the
other direction, then the right side is your "on-side."
