A sports season is typically distinguished from the off-season based on the time when games and competitions are actively held. During the season, teams engage in scheduled matches, tournaments, and competitions, competing for titles and championships. The off-season, conversely, is a period for players to rest, recuperate, and train without scheduled games. During this time, teams may also recruit new players, strategize for the next season, and renew contracts. This cyclical division helps maintain athletes' health while ensuring peak performance during the competitive period.
