i sprained mine 6 weeks ago!.!.!. and it is still swollen!.
i waited about 2 weeks for it to heal a little and then started playing on it again!.!.!.!.!. but i still get it taped!.
you should wrap it in an ACE bandage and stay off it as much as possible and ice it and elevate it for 20 mins!. before and after a game, or whenever it hurts really bad!. taking asprin also helps with the pain and swelling!. before you start playing again on it, you should go to your school trainer and see if they will tape it for you!.!.!.!. it really helps stabalize the ankle!. if you don't have a trainer, use an ankle brace, it's the next best thing!.
good luck, and try to stay off your ankle!. if you try to play on it too soon, it'll just end up getting worse! like me =)Www@Answer-Health@Com

Ok this should help a little i hope!.
Ive sprained my anke many times (about 5) and ive completely destroyed the ligaments in my right ankle (and im only 16) so im pretty good at this!.
You have 2 ligaments on the top of your ankle, 2 on the inside of your foot and 2 on the outside of your foot and then your tendon is in the back!. The ligaments are what hold your foot bone to your shin bone or whatever its called at the joint!. It sounds like you just have a regular sprain because if it was any worse you would be searing and at the ER so it should heal fairly quick!. You need to ice it every 20 minutes and then take off the ice for 20 minutes on the sprain and continue this everyday!. Of course you don't need to ice constantly but as much as possible!. I would get some crutches and wrap it with a ACE bandage to keep it stable and basically baby it!. If you can stay off it for atleast 5 days you should be ok for a game but you ABSOLUTLY HAVE TO ice it after the game!. Also get a brace at Drug Mart, Walgreens, Wal Mart, etc for ankles and wear it during your game for a week or two!.
Im sure you will feel some pain at the game and you might need to miss mondays game but if you really want to play make sure you have a brace on but be carful!. I tried to polevault with torn cartlige in my chest and i almost died from the pain after my jump, it might feel good at first but when you start sprinting for that base you might be suprised how bad it can still hurt!.
Good Luck and i hope this helped!Www@Answer-Health@Com
