Herriman • The Real Salt Lake and Real Monarchs players jogged in packs around the perimeter of the two regulation-sized fields in the Zions Bank Real Academy indoor facility before wrapping up the most physically taxing session of the week Thursday.
The first week of preseason camp, which opened Monday, has been focused on fitness for the whole team, but the outside backs were in for an extra treat.
The completion has begun between a deep group of outside backs, many of whom are new additions this year. Danilo Acosta and Demar Phillips are expected to yet again battle for playing time at left back, but Tony Beltran’s knee injury led to an onslaught of signings at right back.
