We are very pleased to announce that Real Salt Lake Arizona is continuing to make positive strides toward admittance into the US Soccer Development Academy for 2010. To prepare for the final piece of this process, RSLAZ will be conducting open and invitational training sessions beginning May 12 and ending with the final invitational session on May 23rd. This final session will be attended and evaluated by US Soccer technical representatives and youth national team scouts Rene Miramontes and Hugo Perez. This final evaluation is a follow-up to our very successful March 10 session/visit by US Soccer. These sessions will be open to birth years 92 (non-college bound), 93, 94 and the 95 age groups. Please review the calendar below for dates, times and locations for each session.
In addition to the evaluation session with US Soccer, Real Salt Lake AZ is using these open and invitational sessions to begin the selection process to find Arizona’s finest players interested in competing in the 2010 MLS/Sum Cup Championships July 24-28 in Houston, Texas. This event will be hosted in conjunction with this year’s Major League Soccer All-Star game versus Manchester United. The MLS/SUM Cup is a U17 competition for Major League Soccer Academy programs only, with the winner representing Major League Soccer and the United States in the World Club Championships in Madrid, Spain. Real Salt Lake will field one team made up of the top players from its programs in Utah, Arizona and Florida. This will be the 3rd summer that Arizona players will represent Real Salt Lake having won the event in 2008 and finishing 4th in 2009.
