A day-to-day look at the Colorado Rapids

Individual work

After the 5v5 scrimmaging, players break off to work with their respective coaches on individual training. Occasionally, coaches will film footwork to examine player’s individual tendencies. Practice will run until around Noon to 1 p.m., depending on the day.

Typically, the Rapids are "at work" six days a week, with a game once a week. Because they don’t fly charter, travel accommodations have to be worked around airlines,  so the weekly schedule changes with almost every game.
