TUCSON, Ariz. – For the second straight year, Justin Rennicks is spending his February school vacation not on a beach, but on a soccer field with the New England Revolution’s first team.
Rennicks, who was named the Revolution’s UnitedHealthcare Academy Player of the Year last season, arrived in Tucson earlier this week and jumped straight into training, and while he admits that the experience was a bit overwhelming last year, he’s been much more comfortable this time around.
“I definitely came in more understanding of what it’s going to be like and more ready,” said Rennicks, who won’t even turn 17 until next month.
