Over the last few years the Real Salt Lake-Arizona Academy has produced several pro-ready players and in recent months more have surfaced with contracts with Real Salt Lake and the club’s USL sister club, Real Monarchs SLC.
Although many of those players opt to leave the college ranks before completing their four years of eligibility, coaches around the country are welcoming to the young standouts with eyes on pursuing professional dreams that may have them leaving school early. That is due, in large part, to the readiness of those players to contribute immediately at the college level and continue their development toward those professional aspirations.
