MOUNTAIN REGION LEAGUE

Our Recreational Program is the CSA (Colorado Soccer Association) Mountain Region League Program. This program includes competition outside of the Roaring Fork Valley against other Mountain Region Clubs and teams. Mountain Region clubs are typically small in numbers so teams in this division will be combined age groups. For example, 12U will include both 12U and 11U players on one team. For many players in the Mountain region, especially in the younger age levels, this is the first time to experience games and travel outside of the Roaring Fork Valley. Mountain Region clubs typically are all west of the continental divide but can range from New Castle, Grand Junction, Moab, Montrose, and possibly all the way to Durango. Not every club in Mountain Region has teams in every age bracket, so where your team will travel to is not determined until clubs register their teams. 


Recreational teams for 12u (born 2014-2015) and 15u (born 2011-2013) boys and girls. Teams are coached by parents or community members and compete in the CSA Mountain Region League.

Registrations for the Spring Mountain Region League must be submitted by Jan 31


Registrations after 1/15 will go directly to a waitlist and will incur an additional $50 fee for registration if/when they are activated from the waitlist to a roster. 
Rosters will be created and released Feb 15. 


Registration to Mountain Region League teams is done by season, one for fall 2025 and one for spring 2026. If you register for both at the same time, you will receive $100 off of the spring registration fee. A new uniform for 2025-2026 is not included in the registration fee for the player's 
first season of the year; players registered for both seasons will receive their uniform in the fall and will not need a new one in Spring.
