Have you ever wondered what it's like to break camp with an MLS club?


Well, the folks at the New York Red Bulls have given us a window into that world with a series of All-Access videos that show and up close and personal view of the first week of training.


It begins with the players' arrival in St. Petersburg, Florida, where coach Jesse Marsch addresses the 2018 version of his side for the first time.



Then Colombian midfielder Carlos Rivas gives his thoughts on the switch from Orlando City SC, thanks in part to the multi-lingual skills of defender-turned-embedded reporter Aurelien Collin



Defender Tommy Redding also came to the Red Bulls from their offseason trade with Orlando. He celebrates his 21st birthday as he gives his early impressions of his new club that feels more like family than he expected.



As the week comes to an end, Marsch explains the focus and objectives of preparing for a first exhibition against a college side that figures to be considerably outclassed.



Then the Red Bulls get their first look at game action, as three pre-determined groups played 30 minutes each against the University of South Florida, scoring some stylish goals in the process.
