Facilities, and want to register for classes
online, grab your scan card and let’s
get started.
Go to www.lakelandathletics.net and select the
tab for the type of programming you would like to
register for. (Classes are organized by start date.)
Select the name of the class to get more detailed
information.
Once you have chosen the class you are interested
in, select “Register” at the far right of the row.
If you have not used the online registration before,
a user name and a password must be set up. Once
that is done you can log in. On the next screen
check the box to agree to the terms including the
2.8% fee.
Continue to the next screen. If you have a
scan card for the participant enrolling in the
class/program enter the number on the back.
