After 18 days of an entirely new experience — training with the senior national team — Justen Glad, Danilo Acosta and Brooks Lennon returned to Arizona, where their playing careers together began.
The trio rejoined Real Salt Lake in Tucson last week, where the team set up a little over an hour’s drive from Casa Grande, the former site of the RSL Academy. Glad, Acosta and Lennon missed the first week of RSL preseason for U.S. national team January camp, all receiving their first senior team call-ups.
“Being with the national team was new because most of the guys that were in camp I had never played with or met,” Lennon said.
