Frequently Asked Questions
What age groups do you offer ninja classes for?
We offer structured ninja classes for kids and teens ages 3–17. Each class is age-appropriate and designed to match physical, mental, and emotional development.
How do I know which class my child should join?
Class placement is based primarily on age, with skill level considered as kids progress. If you’re unsure, our coaches are happy to help recommend the best class after an Open Gym visit or trial class.
Does my child need prior experience?
No experience is required. Many kids start with no ninja or athletic background at all. Our programs are designed to safely introduce skills and progress over time.
Is ninja training safe for kids?
Yes. Safety is our top priority. All classes are coach-led, age-appropriate, and structured. Obstacles are scaled for each level, and athletes are taught proper technique before advancing.
How often should my child attend class?
Most kids start with one class per week. As they build skills and interest, many choose to train two or more times per week or add Open Gym sessions for extra practice.
Do kids have to compete?
No. Competition is optional. Many athletes train purely for fitness, confidence, and fun. Competition opportunities are available for those who are interested, but never required.
What should my child wear to class?
Athletes should wear:
Athletic clothing that allows movement
Clean athletic shoes with good grip
Hair tied back if long
Avoid loose clothing or accessories that could interfere with obstacles.
Can parents watch classes?
Yes. Parents are welcome to watch from designated viewing areas. We ask that parents allow coaches to lead instruction to help kids stay focused.
What is the Ninja Skills Level System?
We use a 10-level skills progression system, similar to gymnastics, based on mastery of movements and skills. Advancement is skill-based, not age-based, and is evaluated by coaches.
How does my child move up levels?
Athletes progress when they consistently demonstrate the required skills, strength, and control for their level. Advancement happens at each athlete’s pace — there’s no pressure to rush.
Can my child attend Open Gym in addition to classes?
Yes. Open Gym is a great way for athletes to practice skills, explore obstacles, and have fun outside of structured class time.
Do you offer trials or first-time visits?
Yes. We recommend starting with an Open Gym session or trial class so your child can experience the facility and coaching style before enrolling.
