TUCSON, Ariz. – For seven straight years Tucson has been the spot where the New England Revolution have wrapped up their preseason preparations, making all their final adjustments before heading into the long haul of the eight-month regular season.
What’s more, Tucson camp has also been a place for New England Revolution Academy players to get a taste of life with the first team, as years past have seen the likes of Zach Herivaux, Justin Rennicks, Joe Brito, and more join the Revs for a week of training in the desert.
This year sees the Revs bring their largest-ever group of Academy players to the Grand Canyon State, as five youngsters – Kevin Vang, Prince Loney-Bailey, Trevor Burns (yes, son of General Manager Michael Burns), Nicolas Firmino, and Pierre Spiegel will train with the first team this week.
