The MetroStars have arrived in Bradenton, Florida for a two-week training stint at the IMG Academy. The team will conclude this pre-season trip on February 20. The IMG Academy will also be hosting training sessions for the Columbus Crew, Real Salt Lake, Kansas City Wizards, D.C. United, and Chicago Fire.

"We know we are in sunny Florida, but this is no vacation," said MetroStars Head Coach Mo Johnston. "The goal for these two weeks is to bring the group together and to train hard. The guys have already started to come together in the first few days of training in New York and our time down here will certainly accelerate the process."

The following is a list of players in attendance:

Goalkeepers: Jon Conway, Peter Dzubay, Tony Meola

Defenders: Taylor Graham, Carlos Mendes, Jeff Parke, Tim Regan, Marvell Wynne

Midfielders: Blake Camp, Peter Canero, Eddie Gaven, Amado Guevara, Chris Henderson, Mark Lisi, Seth Stammler

Forwards: Jordan Cila, Youri Djorkaeff, Mike Magee, Thiago Martins

In addition to the players mentioned above, there are a host of international invitees training with the club who will not be named at this time.

"We will take a look at some of the international invitees and hope that they can contribute to the club," Johnston said. "Some guys will make it, some guys will not."

While in Florida, the Metros will play five pre-season games. Their first will be Wednesday, February 8 against Real Salt Lake at 10 a.m. EST. Following their initial match, the team will face-off against the Columbus Crew on Friday, February 10 at 10 a.m., D.C. United on Tuesday, February 14, also at 10 a.m., the Under-17 National Team on Friday, February 17 at 4 p.m., and Saturday, February 18 against Kansas City at 7 p.m. The club will hold morning and afternoon training sessions on non-game days.
