Crap, just heard of my second 2nd ACL tear of the same knee in less than a week.

Now a third double tear within weeks of one another!

This isn't BL is it?

If you look at studies reviewing ACL tear rates, the rates are much higher in HS soccer. This is thought to be secondary to the increased number of games 2-3/week and the intense practices every day without time to heal as opposed to Club where they practice 2-3x/week
and 1 game on weekends. Tournaments that have multiple games/day are also a set up for injury that is one reason why ECNL plays 1 game/ day

Most ACL tears are not due to impact. Typically you see a kid try to change direction and then end up on the ground in pain.
