REAL SALT LAKE’S “CHAMPIONSHIP CUP TOUR” BEGINS WITH APPEARANCE ON KUTV 2’s talkin’ sports
RSL Head Coach Jason Kreis to Preview Upcoming 2010 Preseason with Host David James
With Real Salt Lake’s 2010 preseason just around the corner, RSL head coach Jason Kreis will wraps up a busy offseason with an appearance on KUTV 2’s Talkin’ Sports. Kreis, whose squad will officially begin its preseason with a week-long “Rookie Camp” kicking off on Thursday, had plenty to talk about with host David James, including the Claret-and-Cobalt’s spring training plans, the club’s team-building strategy for the 2010 campaign, and the additional challenges faced by beginning the season as the defending MLS Cup champion.
“Championship Cup Tour” Itinerary – Week #1 (Jan. 31-Feb. 7)
During February’s “Championship Cup Tour,” members of the Real Salt Lake organization will usher North American soccer’s top prize in a tour-theme-wrapped Volkswagen Routan across the Beehive State, a journey fans worldwide will be able to follow on www.RealSaltLake.com; the team’s Behind the Shield blog, located at www.RSLtotheCore.com; RSL’s Facebook fan page at www.Facebook.com/RealSaltLake; daily KUTV 2 News weather updates; clicking the Cup icon on the Sports page at www.Connect2Utah.com; and over the radio airwaves via KALL 700 Sports’ top-of-the-hour updates.
While on the tour, Real Salt Lake’s representatives will be visiting with youth soccer clubs and speaking at dozens of school assemblies to give the team’s youngest fans the chance to see what can be achieved by setting goals and putting in the hard work necessary to achieve them – themes that have been embodied in Kreis’ “Fortune Favors the Bold” and “The Team is the Star” mantras since he stepped from the field to the sideline in 2007. Fans at stops along the route will be able to take photos with the MLS Cup trophy and mascot Leo the Lion, bring home giveaway items, and have the chance to win RSL merchandise and 2009 MLS Cup Championship memorabilia. KUTV 2 will also host an “Enter 2 Win” opportunity at each tour stop, with the Grand Prize of a 32” flat-screen television awarded on-air live by an RSL player or coach when the tour wraps up on the February 28 edition of Talkin’ Sports.
Beginning with appearances in Manila (Daggett County) and Vernal (Uintah County), the following is a day-by-day itinerary of the first week of the “Championship Cup Tour.” For more information on the tour, including the full tour schedule and events planned to take place at each tour stop, please visit Real Salt Lake’s official tour page or contact John Koluder in the RSL Communications Department at jkoluder@RealSaltLake.com or 801-727-2716.

'Typical' teen takes unique adventure
By Emily Cohen
David Adams is your typical American teenager. He loves Subway sandwiches on toasted white bread. His dad has to bug him to finish his homework before he goes to soccer practice. And he spends a couple of hours each night on Facebook.
However, while most ninth graders are rushing to finish their math homework at recess and going to Friday night dances, Adams is spending four hours each day training with the U-15 team of a Mexican first division soccer club. Adams is in Mexico for six months as part of an exchange program between his home club, Utah FC, and Queretaro FC.
"My dream is to play soccer professionally and I'm learning so much here from my coaches and the other kids," says Adams. "The speed of play here is much faster than I've seen before and everyone on the team plays at a very high level."
And he's not just talking about their soccer skills. Located about 160 miles northwest of Mexico City, Queretaro sits at about 6,000 feet above sea level. That's no small adjustment when you're playing soccer for a few hours every day. Even for a kid from Utah. More...

In a historic vote for the Utah soccer community, the Salt Lake City Council voted unanimously on Tuesday, January 12 to authorize the release of $15.3 million in bonds that were passed by the voters in 2003. This vote, which occurred in Council chambers packed with soccer supporters, paves the way for construction to begin as soon as this summer . Phase 1 has been planned to include 13 soccer fields and two baseball diamonds. These facilities could become available as early as the fall of 2011.
Former UYSA President Paul C. Burke was invited to address the Council on Tuesday, and Burke answered a battery of questions during the Council's work session before the vote.

Low or No-Cost Health Care Options
Available for Children
Due to economic difficulties, many Utahns are losing health care benefits as a result of job losses and employer budget cuts. In an effort to reduce the number of uninsured, the Utah Department of Health (UDOH) offers the Children's Health Insurance Program (CHIP) to help Utahns provide health insurance for their children.
CHIP provides comprehensive health insurance for the uninsured children of families who qualify. In March, the maximum income guidelines increased, making it easier for working families to qualify. For example, a family of four earning up to $44,100 a year may be eligible. In addition, beginning July 1, CHIP will offer a more inclusive mental health benefit package and change co-pay amounts for selected benefits, as directed by the 2008 Utah Legislature. More...
