YouthNinja Team

Competitive Ninja Warrior training in Sumter, South Carolina.

Competitive Ninja Warrior

Our Youth Ninja Team takes everything athletes learn in class and puts it on the competition course. Team ninjas train obstacle technique, grip strength, balance and speed while building the self-trust it takes to step up to an unfamiliar course and go for it.

More than medals, the team teaches our athletes how to fall, reset and try again. Those "obstacles" become a metaphor for understanding their own strengths — and the confidence they earn on the rig follows them into the classroom and beyond.

Team Levels

Athletes are placed by coach evaluation and move up as their skills and strength develop.

Developmental Ninja Team

1 practice per week

An invitation-only introduction to competitive ninja. Athletes refine the fundamentals — lachés, cliffhangers, quad steps and the warped wall — while learning how a competition day works.

Youth Ninja Team

2 practices per week

Our core competitive squad. Athletes train obstacle technique, grip strength, agility and speed, then travel to local and regional ninja competitions throughout the season.

Elite Ninja Team

2–3 practices per week

For our most experienced ninjas competing at the highest levels. Training focuses on advanced obstacles, conditioning blocks and course strategy for national qualifiers.

  • Attendance at scheduled practices is expected; competitions are announced well in advance.
  • Athletes are responsible for team apparel, competition entry fees and travel.
  • Great sportsmanship, effort and encouraging teammates are non-negotiable.
