Focused Play Registration

Free registration for camps, clubs, clinics and before & after school.

Give every location its own home page, let families sign up in minutes, and walk in on day one with rosters you trust.

Free to set up. 5% per transaction, or just 2% for curriculum licensees.

The problem

Registration shouldn’t eat the hours you’d rather spend with kids.

Most program leaders juggle forms, payment apps and group texts — and it gets harder with every new site.

  • Spreadsheets everywhere

    Rosters, allergies and pickups scattered across files nobody trusts.

  • Paper waivers

    Chasing signatures at drop-off instead of greeting kids.

  • Chasing payments

    Sending reminders and matching payments by hand.

  • Every site is different

    Parks, schools and gyms each need their own page, schedule and contact.

Your guide

Built by people who run programs every week.

Our registration tools come from the same team behind The Recreation Academy’s 1,100+ programs — camps, clubs, clinics and before & after school at parks, schools and libraries. Every feature exists because a site director needed it on a busy Monday morning.

Program count reflects The Recreation Academy’s track record.

See what families see

A page parents can scroll, filter and register from in minutes.

Here’s how three real Rec Academy programs — a camp, a club and a clinic at Kirkwood and Medford partner sites — look on a registration page. Families filter by category and age, see dates and spots at a glance, and tap Register.

Preview only — sample listings showing how parents will scroll through your programs. Dates, prices and spots are illustrative.
