Fall 2025 Details

How To Sign Up:

We use a program called Uplifter Inc. to register applicants. YOU MUST HAVE A REGISTERED ACCOUNT WITH UPLIFTER TO SIGN UP FOR CLASSES (It's free and easy!) Please create this account BEFORE July 7th at 8pm if you are hoping to be one of the first to join fall classes.

REGISTRATIONS WILL AUTOMATICALLY GO LIVE AT 8PM ON JULY 7TH ON UPLIFTER

When you click this link, look for the blue bar that says "You must login or create an account to register for programs". Toggle the pop up screen to "First Time Registering?" and fill out the information provided. Don't forget to verify your account by responding the to the automated email that they will send you!

By registering you are considered a "Member" on the site. Once you have created your account, please make sure that you go to "Actors" and add each of your children that you would like to register. This will help you on July 7th essentially skip a step because you will be able to select the participants you wish to register and add that program to your cart immediately when registration opens at 8pm. If you need any help, please send us an email at sistersactaustin@gmail.com

Once you successfully add a program to your cart, the system will hold your spot in your cart for 30 minutes while you finish the waivers required and fill out your payment information. If you selected the incorrect program, please release your spot in the cart so that another family has an opportunity to grab it.

In the past we have filled some of our programs in just seconds, so if you are interested in joining us this spring we do urge families to be ready to register quickly. WE WILL HAVE WAITLIST SPOTS- It is definitely worth joining a waitlist. We always have some confusion/shuffling on registration night and you would be surprised how many spots pop back available. We also use waitlists to plan additional programming when we see that we have enough interest.

We look forward to working with your family and are here to answer any questions that may arise!
