We listen to our kids and their bodies and ensure adequate rest and recovery both during the season with at least two days off from soccer and a real off-season with mostly pick-up soccer, individual training and losts of cross training in other things like swimming, biking, trampoline work, etc. Lastly, we ramp up the fitness in August so they are prepared going into the season when training starts.
Bottom line, the parents and players need to manage their players bodies as no one else will. It doesn't guarantee an injury free season, but it should prevent the preventable injuries, and ACL tears are absolutely preventable.
