Hi there,
Depends on how heavy your team training sessions are!

Are your team training sessions real team session inwhich your body is not too much under stress, then you can train during the other days as well.
I suppose ther is a matchday as well.

day 1 %3A matchday
day 2 %3A light recovery training (jogging, swimming, relaxing, sauna) to get the tiredness out of your body
day 3 %3A team training
day 4 %3A power training legs / arms /body back and front
day 5 %3A team training
day 6 %3A powertraining - endurance - interval training
day 7 %3A light session of jogging and relaxing preparation for the match

sessions should not be too long and active %3A max 90 minutes on 75% of your power

also important which time of the year
before the match periode %3A
week 1-3 %3A training should last long and should be at 75% of power
week 3-6 %3A training should last long and should be at 100% of power
week 7-9 %3A training should last short and should be at 75% of power

Training is a real science so start easy and try to read as much about it as possible!
Try not to get over-trained. If you always feel tired and sleep badly %3A train not too hard.
