CASA GRANDE, Ariz. – Real Salt Lake-Arizona Academy and Elite have a busy weekend in store, with all five teams in action and playing a total of eleven matches between the U.S. Soccer Development Academy and the Tuzos Soccer Challenge.

In the opening weekend of USSDA action, the San Diego Surf visit Grande Sports World to take on Real Salt Lake-Arizona Academy. RSL-AZ will look to start off the season on a high note in their quest to return to the USSDA finals.

Last season, RSL-AZ U-17/18 drew 1-1 against the Surf at home with a goal from Jose Hernandez, while RSL-AZ U-15/16 notched a 2-0 win thanks to goals from Sebastian “Bofo” Saucedo and Justen Glad.

Meanwhile, Real Salt Lake-Arizona Elite head north to Phoenix for the Tuzos Soccer Challenge, where the 17s open their season and the 16s and 18s will look to improve on last week’s disappointing performance at the 36th Annual North Huntington Beach Cup.

Expectations will be high for the Elites this weekend, as last year at the Tuzos Soccer Challenge the 18s finished in second place and the 16s won the competition.
