Registration Tips:

1. How to speed up your registration process?
Before registration day, please make sure each family member is added to your account by selecting ‘My Groups.’
2. Does creating duplicate accounts increase your chance of registration?
No, it doesn’t. Instead, both parents can register their children for programs using one account by logging in with the owner’s email and password on multiple devices.
