INDEPENDENCE, Mo. – The 2012 MISL Combine opened on Thursday in Kansas City, offering 60 players the opportunity to take the field in the view of MISL staff and coaches as they try to earn a coveted spot on a MISL team for the league’s 2012-13 season. The four-day event is being held at the Missouri Comets’ home venue, the Independence Events Center, and their training facility, the KC Soccer Dome.

“The MISL Combine is a fantastic opportunity for the nation’s best talent to get out in front of MISL coaches and earn a place in professional indoor soccer,” MISL Senior Director Chris Economides said. “We are looking forward to a fantastic display of a skill ahead of what looks to be one of the most exciting MISL seasons yet.”

The 60 players will be put through their paces by MISL coaches and USL National Technical Director Peter Mellor. The players will receive detailed instruction, individualized testing and plenty of opportunity to showcase their abilities.

“We are excited to host the 2012 MISL Combine,” Comets President Brian Budzinski said. “The impression Kansas City recently made hosting the MLB All Star events opened the eyes to many across the country, and we are thrilled to continue to show everyone at the MISL combine what a great area this is for major sports events.”
