MLS announced Saturday the schedule for the opening of preseason training camps in 2021, with most teams set to get fully going on March 8.
For teams that are not participating in outside competitions to begin the year, like the San Jose Earthquakes, individual players can opt to report for camp early, between now and March 1, and undergo the routine annual medical screenings as well as the mandatory seven-day quarantine period for coronavirus. Once they clear those, they can participate in individual training or small group training sessions with other cleared players. During this time, coaches and other team staff cannot participate in the trainings.
