Major League Soccer Combine

The Major League Player Combine was held each year prior to the SuperDraft. In 2020, MLS decided to discontinue the combine. The combine comprised one day of fitness testing, in which participants performed three tests: a speed test (30-meter dash), agility test (5-10-5 shuttle) and a leg power Test (vertical jump).



We have collated the top results of all three tests since 2013 and created the table of best ever results below. See the MLS Combine fitness test results from each year: 2012 (part results), 2013 (top 5), and top 10 for 2014, 2015, 2016, 2017, 2018 and 2019.
