Practice kicks off at 3 p.m. on the campus of Phoenix College

SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. (Feb. 16, 2015) – Arizona United Soccer Club opens its first full preseason training session of the 2015 season this afternoon at 3 p.m. at Phoenix College. This inaugural practice — which is open to the public — is set to commence at 3 p.m. at Hoy Stadium on the campus of Phoenix College (1202 West Thomas Road, Phoenix, 85013).

Today’s preseason training session marks the first full training session in Arizona United SC history, as the club was formed just weeks before its inaugural campaign in 2014.

Arizona United SC will enter camp with 15 players, as two additional players are signed and pending USL and USSF approval.

Among the 15 signed players to Arizona United SC’s roster, Head coach Michael Dellorusso has extended a camp invite to eight players who have professional playing experience in Major League Soccer, United Soccer League, and North American Soccer League. Among the players invited to preseason: Spencer Johnson, Jossi Sanchez, Cameron Vickers, Lucas Paulini, Vincent Mediate, Ethan Miller, Devante Dubose, and Kenny Tribett.

After competing in one of Arizona United SC’s two open player tryouts this past weekend, Dellorusso was impressed enough to also invite goalkeepers Humberto Soriano, and Keegan Rogers, and midfielder Edmund Owusu-Ansah, to preseason training. Owusu-Ansah has competed internationally earning 16 caps for Ghana, Soriano made a lone appearance for the now-defunct Phoenix FC Wolves in 2013, and Rogers wrapped up his collegiate career at Western Washington University in 2014 as the all-time career goals against leader, and second in career shutouts. All three players are being given a chance to make the Arizona United SC 2015 roster.
