Major League Soccer and adidas today announced the 2011 adidas MLS Player Combine rosters and Combine coaches.  In addition to the initial list of Division I collegiate seniors and Generation adidas signings invited to play in Combine, MLS has added seven more collegiate seniors and five non-collegiate players to the list of participants.

These players are among the more than 70 top pro prospects that will showcase their talents at the 2011 adidas MLS Player Combine Jan. 7-11 at Central Broward Regional Park in Ft. Lauderdale, FL. (See schedule at bottom)

In December of 2010, the MLS Competition Committee approved a League initiative to sign non-collegiate players for participation in the adidas MLS Player Combine and the SuperDraft presented by adidas.  Non-collegiate players that have signed include: midfielder Paolo Cardozo (Uruguay), forward Victor Estupinan (Ecuador), midfielder Marlon Ganchozo (Ecuador), midfielder Martin Rivas (Argentina), and midfielder John Rooney (England).

Each team will be led by a collegiate head coach who will be assisted by an experienced soccer professional.  The University of Louisville's Ken Lolla will coach AdiZero with Rick Brownell of the Michigan Wolves, the University of Tulsa's Tom McIntosh will coach AdiPure with Dave Smith of the North Atlantic Soccer Association, Seattle Pacific University's Mark Collings will coach team Jabulani with Brian Quinn of San Diego SC, and Old Dominion's Alan Dawson will coach team AdiPower with Brian Doyle of Council Rock Soccer Association and FC Bucks.

Note: University of Akron forward and Generation adidas player Darlington Nagbe will not participate in combine but is eligible for selection in the SuperDraft. Four other Generation adidas players will not participate in Combine because they are in camp with the Under-20 National Team in South Florida: Perry Kitchen, Zac MacMath, Omar Salgado, and Zarek Valentin.
