CASA GRANDE, Ariz. – After a ten-month long season that culminated just one win shy of a national championship, Real Salt Lake-Arizona Academy embark on a new journey in hopes of a championship that begins Saturday with a weekend doubleheader against Pateadores.
RSL-AZ U-17/18 gets the season underway first against Pateadores, looking to repeat last season’s 5-1 win in the lone matchup between these two teams at Grande Sports World.
RSL-AZ U-15/16 then take the field after the 18s on both Saturday and Sunday against Pateadores. The 16s look to start the year off on a positive note and reverse last year’s 2-1 home loss against Pats.
Up in northwest Phoenix, Real Salt Lake-Arizona Elite compete in their second tournament of the season, the 2015 Tuzos Challenge. With a minimum-combined 12 games between the four Elite teams, this weekend will be a great opportunity for each team’s chemistry to grow.
