Real Monarchs SLC and reigning USL Coach of the Year Mark Briggs opened its first day of the 2018 preseason at the Zions Bank Training Center on February 1 as the team looks to defend its regular-season title from a season ago.
The Monarchs haven’t just begun its preseason however, all currently rostered players opened the first week of camp with Real Salt Lake’s first team one week ago to begin integrating and developing as a unit from top to bottom. The USL side had all 14 currently rostered Monarchs players training under RSL head coach Mike Petke’s staff together with Briggs’ staff since January 22.
