Lattin's local GAA club, Lattin–Cullen GAA, is affiliated to the West Division Board of Tipperary GAA. The club is historically associated with Gaelic football.
The primary schools of Shronell and Mount Bruis tend to concentrate their religious and sporting activities in Lattin village.{{fact|date=September 2020}}
