I had surgery about 19 weeks ago after tearing my ACL playing soccer. Ive done great in therapy and have experienced little trouble with running and jumping. I am a senior in high school and the last week of the season will be when I am 22 months, 2 weeks short of what my doctor gave me for returning to soccer. I have been doing light drills and participating in no contact scrimmages and I really hope to be able to make a return for the last few games. Im planning on asking my doctor about it in a few weeks but I was just wondering what you would recommend since you are very knowledgable in this subject.

You probably aren't going to like my answer but the pure cost/benefit of the potential of re-tearing it does not make it worth it in my mind. I rushed back to playing competitive soccer when I started a new job in a new city and was looking to have some fun at a sport i enjoy and after being asked to play I rushed back to playing an re-tore my ACL. It sounds like you are doing all the right things to be ready to play and that is great but rushing in to play 1 game I dont think is worth it. Take your time and then you can enjoy playing soccer in leagues for years to come!
