Sporting Kansas City was among the few MLS clubs to generate news headlines last week, beginning voluntary individual player workouts at Compass Minerals National Performance Center, formerly Pinnacle, in Kansas City, Kansas.
These individual workouts represent the next momentous step in Major League Soccer’s return to play and mark the first time Sporting players have worked out at the facility since the 2020 MLS season was suspended March 12 due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
But what do these individual workouts actually look like? What are players allowed to do and what’s off limits.
Manager and Sporting Director Peter Vermes provided the answers in an illuminating discussion with The Program host Soren Petro on Friday.
