Youth Sports Camps/Clinics

Soccer is a fun way for kids to get off the couch, meet new friends and stay in shape! Our great volunteer coaches make this program a blast for both the kids and parents. Please sign up early to avoid the late fee and get your choice of practice days. For information regarding indoor soccer see the Field House page.
Fall Youth Soccer

- Coaches Training/Meeting: Wednesday, August 26th 7:00 pm at the Field House

Spring Soccer
We have made the difficult decision to cancel the spring youth soccer season. The State of Colorado mandate that there not be gatherings of 10 or more people before at least through April 20 made even an abbreviated season, impossible to pull off.
We are working on the logistics of running soccer clinics, small-sided games and skills competitions on a weekly basis in May or June. We will keep you updated as things settle.
We will automatically credit your MRD account in the amount of the registration fee. Normally we do not credit accounts, but due to the exceptional circumstances, we are doing so to encourage you to enroll in a future MRD program. Registration for summer programs will begin on April 6. The money on your account can be used to register for any future program or pass as long as it is used by Dec. 31, 2020. If you want to leave the credit on your account you do not need to contact us.
If you prefer a refund please contact us at 970-249-7705 or mrd@montroserec.com. Please be patient as we have limited staff to process refunds at the moment.
If a scholarship was used for the program registration fee those funds will part of the credit to your account to use for your future program registration.
Please let us know if you have any questions. I hope to see you on the baseball and softball fields this summer.
