MLS 2016 kicks off with combine

The first tangible action of the new season kicks off this week as MLS hopefuls gather in Florida to impress potential new teams

The MLS season starts to ramp up today. The schedule comes out in the afternoon (hopefully) and all of the teams have staff in Ft. Lauderdale, Florida for the 2016 adidas MLS Player Combine. The combine runs from Jan. 7-12 and leads right into the MLS SuperDraft in Baltimore on the 14th. Shortly after that players will start reporting, training camps will open and preseason will be underway.

The Combine

MLS has invited 60 college players and split them into four teams of 15 each although there may still be some late additions.
