Depends...: Unlikely; however if your acl tear is isolated( no meniscus tear, etc.)and you have good " secondary restraints " in your knee( mcl, capsular ligaments)and your knee is still 'stable' when involved in hard , cutting sports (i.e.Soccer) then return to soccer w/ or w/o functional knee bracing then u might be able to... The chances for this scenario even in your age group are <30%.Best of luck!
