The Colorado Rapids’ U18s and U16s have discovered their group rivals after the draw was made in Chicago for the 2017 U.S. Soccer Development Academy Playoffs.
Each age category has 32 teams involved, with those drawn into eight groups of four. The winners in each group then go on to play in the knockout rounds, starting with the quarterfinals in early July.
Chris Martinez’s U18s will play Baltimore Armour, Capital Area RailHawks - CASL, and Chicago Fire, in Group F. Baltimore and the RailHawks were eighth and ninth best teams in the U18s regular season.
