The last week of preseason training continued for the Portland Timbers today as the team ramps up to Sunday's season opener against the Columbus Crew. Working at the team's Beaverton training facility, the Timbers put in a long session, marking the continuation of the same weekly progression that the team went through in 2015.
Today's session got off to a simple start with the Timbers warming up through a classic seven on two rondo. With plenty of flicks, nutmegs, and other pieces of trickery on display, the mood was decidedly lighthearted to start the day.

The Timbers soon got serious as the rain began to pick up and the team transitioned to a six on three possession drill in a larger area.
