Coaches in this group will plan and adjust all training sessions based on published Acute:Chronic Workload Ratio (ACWR) load management principles. Player training load data will be monitored using a commercially available athlete management system. The intervention will be implemented for the duration of the complete season. The ACWR will be used to guide training prescription, with the goal of managing the players' acute and chronic workloads to reduce injury risk
