Colorado Rapids Youth Team Headed To International Tourney...

I am a little typed out but I thought this was news worthy. The Colorado Rapids are sending one of their youth teams to complete in the Clyde Best Tournamenthttp://www.bermudasun.bm/main.asp?SectionID=8&SubSectionID=203&ArticleID=40091&TM=55811.67 in Bermuda next month. This is the kind of development MLS clubs need to participate in. Young soccer players from Colorado will be facing off against top French club Sochaux and two Bermuda national teams in the u-15 age group. Competing against teams from around the world in this way will expose the young Rapids to different styles of play and difficult opposition. In the long run these types of events will help MLS develop top players. Well done Rapids, well done accepting the invite and sending the kids.

While we just wrapped up the MLS Draft, this kind of development will someday help improve college players and MLS players.
