What a difference a day makes. Real Salt Lake traded the blustery cold and snow of Utah on Monday for sunny skies and green grass fields on the UCLA campus on Tuesday. After a day of fitness at altitude at the Zions Bank Real Academy, RSL continued preseason by boarding a plane and flying out to the west coast where they brought out the balls and started building towards the club’s ultimate goals in 2019.
An eager mood to get back together was elevated even higher on Tuesday when the exercises weren’t just tests of strength, speed and endurance, but possession drills and small-sided games.
