I am on the S&S protocol and love it. I try to do it 2-4 times a week.

Once a week I play "floorball" (innebandy). Its a Swedish land hockey game. There are lots of sprints and running. That day and the day after I don´t do any Kettlebells.

Do you think I should try to do my kettlebells also on those days or rest?
 
I would do lighter getups only on the same day as I have played the sport myself and it's very intense. Then a full day of rest after.

Welcome to SF

Plenty of us train multiple modalities on the same day. I would say it might depend a bit on your current level of fitness, and what training goals you have.

LED locomotive training is very complimentary to S&S. In your sport where there is a lot of sprinting you might want to proceed with a bit more caution

I play football on Saturdays. On Fridays I do S&S with a moderate weight and very generous rest intervals, to be fresh the next day. The match day I don't even dream of doing anything else. I might even take Sunday off, depending on how beat up I am.

By your post, I assume you remain pretty energetic after your match. If so, I think there is no harm in trying and seing how it goes. You could do TGU long before the match and swings after, that's how I would try it at first. I personally prefer to be intact for my competitive sport, thats why I would do it like that.

S&S is designed such that you don't need a lot of recovery resources at all. I don't know how much recovery you need from your sport practice? Do you need a full 2 days rest? If you are in doubt, add one more S&S session - you will know pretty soon if it is too much. Another great feature of the S&S design is that it is easily auto-regulated. You can make the sessions as easy as they need to be.
 
Once a week, as a hobby? Don't worry at all.

@Oaskarand, if I haven't had the opportunity to say so already, welcome to the StrongFirst forum.

The question one should ask in these situations should be, "What can I recover from?" more than "What can I do?" I, unfortunately, ask the wrong question myself sometimes, and then I complete the planned workout but am trashed for several days afterwards. Always err on the side of feeling good except when you have a planned test for which you know you will be pushing yourself, and always schedule extra rest both before and after those planned test or competition days.
