Torrance Residents receive priority in registering for classes and programs.   A Torrance Resident is defined as anyone living within the Torrance city limits.  Non-Torrance residents are welcome to register for classes, however there is a non-resident fee added for the majority of classes.  Those living in the 90501 zip code east of Western Avenue and the 90502 zip codes are considered non-residents.

ALL Torrance Residents must provide current proof of residency.  Proof of residency will also be required if you move to a different Torrance address or if mail is returned.  Proof MUST be current and is limited to the following:  

• California Driver's License
• Car Registration or Car Insurance Premium
• Public Utility Bill: electricity, gas, cable, water & trash (telephone bills, bank statements, mortgage statements, rental agreements, and satellite bills are NOT accepted)

Note: during the transition from RecTrac to torrance.rec.us:

If you have previously verified your residency with that City of Torrance, we will make every effort to transfer your residency status once you set up an account on rec.us 

To make sure you are ready for summer registration, we highly recommend you create an account 3-5 days before registration day, and verify that your status has transferred by following the steps below:

1. Create an account

2. Check your profile page for a residency badge

3. If you do not see your residency badge, reach out to support@rec.us

At any point in time, The City of Torrance may request that you reverify your residency status. If you cannot reverify your residency, The City of Torrance reserves the right to remove you from programming that was signed up for under the pretense of being a resident. 

You may email your proof of residency to Enroll@TorranceCA.Gov or fax it to 310-781-7598.

AGE REQUIREMENTS will be strictly enforced. Birth dates must be included. Students must be the age specified by the first class meeting.

REGISTER EARLY as classes that do not meet the minimum enrollment requirements may be cancelled one week before class begins.

WAITING LISTS are established once a class is filled.  If a vacancy occurs, wait list participants will be notified by email or phone in the order they were placed on the wait list.  Participants will then have three (3) business days to contact the Registration Office to pay for the class.  Failure to contact the office will result in the name being removed from the wait list, and the next participant will be contacted.  Please be sure the Registration Office has your correct contact information on file.  If we are unable to reach you, you will be removed from the wait list.  Waiting lists are established for each activity each season and are not carried over to other seasons.
