Sporting Kansas City were one of four MLS teams Wednesday to start individual training sessions, an important first step in the long process of getting the 2020 season rolling again.
Head coach Peter Vermes, of course, was excited to have his players back in a team-run, soccer-specific environment. However, he hopes their efforts, ones that follow the league’s social distancing protocol, can serve as a model for clubs that aren’t permitted to train yet due to state or local restrictions.
“I think this is going to be a huge help to the other markets that maybe have a little bit more restrictions and maybe their government officials aren't very confident about it,” Vermes said.
