Off-season

The off-season takes place for two weeks at the end of a Hattrick season with its 14 league matches. It is a special period since most people will have only one game a week (except if they play a qualifier), creating difficulties for the training regime because only half of the trainees can train. Many users choose to temporarily change their training type to less regular ones that train more people, such as set pieces training.
