Plenty of Excitement Surrounds Rapids Youth As Preseason Kicks Off in Arizona

The last week has been an exciting one for the Colorado Rapids.

On Monday, the team headed to Tucson, Arizona to begin preseason, fresh off the heels of the four Homegrown signings in the days prior.

These signings are more proof that the youth movement is alive and well within the club. The four players join one of the youngest rosters in MLS – last year, the Rapids fielded the second-youngest starting XI in the league in their final regular season match.

“We’re very much committed to a youth movement, very much committed to identifying and recruiting the best young talent both domestically here within our home market, within the rest of the United States and then abroad as well,” said Pádraig Smith, Rapids Executive VP & GM.
