Charleston, SC. Charleston Battery head coach Mike Anhaeuser heads down to Ft Lauderdale, Florida this weekend to observe the adidas Major League Soccer Player Combine. The combine features 75 top pro prospects and begins Friday and concludes January 12 at the Central Broward Regional Park.

"The MLS combine is a great tool to find some of the top senior college players in the US," said Charleston Battery head coach, Mike Anhaeuser. "It also allows us to meet with other coaches and staff from MLS, and the other pro leagues. It's a fantastic event and will help us as we continue to build our squad for the upcoming season."
