The “new team” jitters are now a thing of the past as the Utah Royals FC enter the second week of preseason camp. The sizeable group, with several non-roster invitees included to counteract the absence of numerous internationals participating in either the SheBelieves or Algarve Cup tournaments – returned Monday to the world-class Zions Bank Real Academy Training Center in Herriman, Utah, to begin preparations for the club’s first preseason scrimmage this Saturday against Brigham Young University.
While the first week of practice featured drills aimed at meshing the women’s various playing styles, the next couple of days will be focused on preparing for this weekend’s match.
