Fret not, MLS fans. The offseason is over.

Just 47 days since the LA Galaxy were crowned MLS Cup champions, teams across the league are returning to the training pitch to begin preparations for the 2015 season. Boots are being laced up, shin guards and ankle tape being applied, and sprints are being run across the country as players prepare for the season ahead.

MLS teams will be heading to multiple locations, most heading for warm-weather training in Arizona or Florida, while some will be heading to England, Ireland, or Sweden to prepare for the upcoming campaign.
