Individual Event Registration: Claim Your Spot!
If you are wanting to enter an event as an individual athlete (i.e. your club or team is not entering you) then you are entering as an unattached athlete.
Alternatively, some clubs / teams allow athletes to register themselves instead of requiring an administrator or coach to do it. In this circumstance you might be able to enter under your Club or Team name as an individual.
Before you register yourself for a meet, we suggest you search and see if you already exist in our system. This is called claiming your athlete bio, see Claim Your Athlete Bio for more information on how to do this. You may have done this when you created your AthleticNET account. This will associate your account (we call them Profiles) with your performance history page (we call them Bios). This simply involves finding a meet with your results in it and associating those results with your AthleticNET login.
Once you've claimed your bio, click the Home Button to return to your Dashboard.
From your dashboard, choose Athlete Registration.
From there you'll either choose Myself or Add Athlete. In most cases, you'll want to choose Myself.
Children under 13 years of age need to be managed by their parents. We call this Managed Athlete. If you're managing another athlete (your children) from your account, choose Add Athlete then follow the instructions for Adding a Managed Athlete to Your Account on how to do this.
