NUEVA YORK (30 de noviembre, 2005) - La Major League Soccer anunció el miércoles la lista inicial de 54 jugadores de 36 universidades de la Division 1 que fueron seleccionados para participar en las pruebas anuales de la MLS patrocinadas por adidas, que se llevarán a cabo por tercera vez consecutiva en el Home Depot Center de Carson, California del 12 al 15 de enero, 2006.
Gerente generales y los cuerpos técnicos de los 12 equipos de la MLS estarán presentes para evaluar el talento antes del SuperDraft de la MLS, que se llevará a cabo en Filadelfia, Pennsylvania el viernes, 20 de enero junto con la convención del National Soccer Coaches Association de America (NSCAA) en el Pennsylvania Convention Center. De los 48 jugadores seleccionados en el SuperDraft de la MLS 2005, 39 habían participado en las pruebas del año pasado, incluyendo la selección del New England Revolution Michael Parkhurst - el Novato del Año Gatorade de la MLS 2005.
La lista inicial de jugadores para el 2006 adidas Player Combine fue determinada por un grupo de técnicos universitarios de la Division 1 quienes nominaron y votaron para jugadores junto con técnicos de la MLS. Jugadores juveniles del progama Generation Adidas se juntarán con jugadores de universidades de las Divisiones II y III, la NAIA y jugadores alternativos de División 1 para finalizar las pruebas. Estos jugadores serán anunciados en el futuro cercano.
