Weekly ninja classes and open gym start at age 5. Our Mini Ninja program welcomes ages 3–4, and teens and adults can train through open gym and Elite Training (15+).

Closed-toe athletic shoes are required for all activities — no sandals, Crocs, flip-flops, open-back shoes or boots. Add comfortable athletic clothing, leave jewelry at home, and bring a water bottle.

No experience needed. Coaches scale every obstacle to each athlete’s level, and our curriculum meets kids exactly where they are — total beginner to seasoned competitor.

Safety is the foundation of everything we do: padded landing zones, daily-maintained equipment, certified coaches, small coach-to-student ratios, and skill progressions that only advance kids when they’re ready.

Grip and protection. Obstacles like the warped wall, laches and balance elements demand real traction, and closed-toe athletic shoes protect feet on landings. No sandals, Crocs, flip-flops, open-back shoes or boots — no exceptions.

For athletes ages 5–12, an adult must remain on site. Parents are always welcome to watch — and if you want to try the course during open gym, just sign a waiver.

The big ones: closed-toe athletic shoes for all activities, a signed waiver for every participant, follow coach instructions on the course, no jewelry or gum, and an adult on site for athletes ages 5–12. Coaches cover the rest at the start of every session.

Our coaches are trained to respond immediately, and a parent or guardian is contacted right away for anything beyond a minor bump. Have specific questions about our safety procedures? Call us at (916) 751-1979.
