You may not need a surgery for ACL but meniscus tear may require arthroscopic examination.

Considering your age, and considering your physical activity denand, you might need an ACL reconstruction once it tears completely.
Next Steps
For now, knee brace is a must, and you will have to avoid pivoting movements at the knee.
Quadriceps strengthening exercises have to be done to delay the surgery and to make post op rehabilitation easier
