While preseason consists if two-a-days, scrimmages, friendlies and work out sessions, there are also non-soccer related activities going on.  Take a look at how some of the Black-and-Red have spent their time away from the field in Bradenton, Florida.




Before preseason even started, some players were just ready to escape the D.C. snow storm.

Others just wanted to hang with their teammates.



Markus Halsti was happy to see the guys too.

He was a little preoccupied while staying behind in the D.C. area, after all...



Bobby Boswell and Taylor Kemp went looking for that exotic Florida wildlife.




The wildlife wasn't the only thing to look at outside, though, as rookie Julian Buescher found out. Sean Franklin and Kofi Opare took to the water to get a different point of view.




Amidst all the training sessions and team events, a new face joined the group halfway through. Marcelo Sarvas became the newest member of the Black-and-Red, and also reunited with some former teammates.

But when it comes down to it, preseason is when everyone gets ready for the fast-approaching season, and there's always work to be done.
