SOCCER. IS. BACK.
Well, not quite, but Thursday marked an important and necessary first step on the road back to soccer as Rapids players took the field for individual training sessions for the first time since the MLS season was suspended on March 12.
The players were split between the main pitch at DICKu02bcS Sporting Goods Park and the regular training pitch on the complex. Each group consisted of three or four players training for 60-minute voluntary sessions.
“It was great. It almost felt like a team training,” head coach Robin Fraser said after the end of the three sessions.
