As the academic year comes to a close, the end of another season for the RSL Academy draws near, but before the dormitories and training facilities go dormant for the summer, the U15 and U17 squads will compete in the MLS NEXT Championship in Dallas, Texas for one last chance to dawn the RSL Crest this season.
The single-elimination tournament begins June 25 and will run until the following weekend, with the final being held on Saturday, July 3 with 128 teams from across the country featuring in the tournament. Among those vying for the title are the U15s from the RSL Academy, who finished second in the Northwest Pacific Division to clinch their spot as one of the 32 teams in its age group who earned the right to compete in Dallas for the MLS NEXT Cup.
