Ninja
The sport of Ninja can be enjoyed by people of all ages and abilities. The Y’s Ninja Program will help you build strength, agility and confidence, giving you the skills and power you need to clear any obstacle.
The sport of Ninja is one of the fastest growing sports in the world, with competitions happening around the globe.
Ninja will challenge your technique, strength and conditioning through a variety of obstacles that range from very easy to very difficult.
Our Ninja Program is a great way for those new to the sport to start their journey. It also offers more seasoned athletes an opportunity to hone their skills and push their limits.
Our coaches are experienced athletes who together have competed in hundreds of obstacle course races and ninja competitions. They now bring their passion and expertise in the sport of Ninja to the Y.
The Y’s Ninja Program is made possible through the generosity of a legacy gift from Ann Eaton. We are eternally grateful!

Ninja 101
Ages 6-12
Ninja 101 is the perfect starting point for anyone interested in ninja-style obstacle training, whether you’re brand new or just looking for a fun, active class without the pressure of competition. This welcoming, all-levels class focuses on building confidence, coordination, and strength one obstacle at a time. Participants learn how to safely navigate a wide variety of elements, including rings, balance obstacles, tumbling surfaces, cargo nets, traverse walls, slacklines, ropes, ladders, and warped walls. Ninja 101 is designed to be engaging and repeatable, so students can stay in the class as long as they’d like—many return session after session to keep building skills, trying new challenges, and enjoying time on the rig at their own pace.
