Important Information for Creating Your Account
- When creating a new account, it is important to enter the parent or adult's information first. The first person on the account created will be the default payer or head of household, and must be an adult. The primary email address entered into the adult account will be the assigned username moving forward.
- Fill in the form as completely as possible. All of the fields with an asterisk are mandatory—an account cannot be created without completing these sections. At least one emergency contact will also need to be added to the account. Registrants will have the opportunity to add family members to the household at a later point of the registration process.
- To receive text alerts about class cancellations and facility closures, indicate your mobile carrier next to the cell number provided.
- Additional household members can be added and updated (such as spouse, children, etc.) at any time in the account settings. Important note: Entire households must be created on one account.
