Getting "in" to the activity depends on the time of year and the popularity.

Sometimes you just have to go early.

I haven't ever been shut out of anything except claying. They require you take the college course first. For other activities I have sometimes had to show up at least 45 minutes ahead of time in high season. But not many.

There is always plenty of room at the art and craft activities I have chosen. All rec centers and their activities are open to all villagers, not just the ones who live closeby. In new areas, there is usually more participation because everyone is excited to try everything. You may have to take a scenic ride in your golf cart a few miles away to find the activity of your choice.
