Applications and documentation can emailed to the Registrar at montroseavalanche@gmail.com or be mailed to PO Box 604, Montrose, CO, 81402. If a family requires additional aid, they must request the additional scholarship directly from the MSC Board.

  • REFUNDS

    It is the policy of MSC to refund registration fees ONLY if you move out of town prior to the start of the season, or if the child is unable to participate due to injury or illness. If MSC is unable to place a player on a team, a full refund will be issued. If a player has registered and made payment of fees then decides to drop out of the program, there will be no refund of payment fees. Players who have participated in one or more scheduled matches would not be considered eligible for an injury refund of fees. If a player has received their uniform, the cost will not be refunded, even if unworn.


    If there are exceptional circumstances that parents who have paid registration fees believe warrant refunding of fees paid, those requests must be made, in writing, to the MSC Board. Conflicts with practice schedules, personality issues between players or Coaches, loss of interest, or conflicts with other elective after school programs are generally not considered exceptional circumstances.
