Everything Parents Ask Us

Three easy steps: book a FREE trial class, sign the online waiver before you arrive, and show up in closed-toe athletic shoes with a water bottle. Our coaches handle everything else — no experience or equipment needed.

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+).

Yes — trial classes are booked by appointment so we can keep coach-to-student ratios small. Grab a spot on the booking page or call or text (916) 751-1979; it takes about a minute.

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.

Three steps: sign the waiver, create an account in the Customer Portal, then book classes, camps and parties or buy passes in the LNA Store.

Plan on a few minutes early to check in at the kiosk and meet the coaches. Signing the online waiver before you arrive makes your first drop-off even faster.

Classes run 50 minutes and meet weekly. They’re grouped by age and led by experienced coaches with limited coach-to-student ratios.

Weekly ninja classes (ages 5+), Mini Ninja (ages 3–4), open gym (ages 5–adult), summer camps, birthday parties, private lessons, Homeschool P.E. and Elite Training for committed athletes 15 and up. See the training page for the full lineup.

Mini Ninja is our intro program for 3–4 year olds — a coach-led class that builds coordination, listening skills and confidence on pint-sized obstacles, so little ninjas are ready to jump into regular classes at age 5.

Yes — our Homeschool P.E. program gives kids ages 5–17 daytime ninja training that doubles as physical education. Contact us or call (916) 751-1979 for current days and times.

Private lessons are $100 for 60 minutes of one-on-one coaching built around your goals, and you can add one sibling to the same lesson for $50 more. Book through the Customer Portal.

Our curriculum moves every athlete through clear skill levels, so kids always know their next challenge — and get celebrated when they conquer it. Coaches assess new ninjas during their first classes and place them at the right level. Ask a coach or call (916) 751-1979 for details.

Open gym is subject to availability — you can check in at the kiosk when you arrive or reserve ahead through the Customer Portal. Reserving ahead is the safest bet on busy days.

One full hour on the course, your way: try new obstacles, revisit favorites and work the skills you choose. Coaches are on-site to review safety, offer spotting and explain obstacles — flexible training with the freedom to play.

Both are great — but for most kids we recommend starting with the free trial class so a coach can introduce the obstacles safely. Open gym is perfect extra practice once they know the course. Not sure? Call or text (916) 751-1979.

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.
