Fundamentals welcomes all children, no matter their previous athletic experience. In this level, we introduce the core elements of ninja training in an encouraging and supportive environment. Our skilled coaches guide participants through carefully designed progressions that help every child achieve success. The focus is on mastering foundational skills, emphasizing proper technique and form to set the stage for long-term growth.

Age Groups:

4-6

7-9

10+

Groups are capped at 5-6 participants, to enhance participation, safety, human connection, skill development, and to allow coaches to customize curriculum to each child's needs

After successfully mastering Fundamentals, ninjas are ready to advance to Level 2: Skill Progressions. Admission to this level requires passing our Fundamentals evaluation, which tests 10 essential skills developed in Level 1. Ninjas must demonstrate proficiency in at least 8 out of 10 skills to move forward. In Skill Progressions, we build upon foundational techniques, challenging ninjas to refine their abilities and take their skills to the next level. This stage is designed to push boundaries, inspire growth, and empower participants to achieve greater accomplishments.

We remain in in age-group cohorts because we believe a six-year old and eleven-year old ninja have vastly different social-emotional needs and learning styles. Curriculum is tailored so each age grouping learns in the way that makes most sense. Example: Six year olds may play more skill-based games, while eleven year old ninjas may work on agility and explosive power drills.

Competitive Prep is designed for dedicated ninjas who are ready to take their skills to an elite level before moving on to the Competitive Team. This stage is for athletes who have mastered Skill Progressions and are preparing for more advanced challenges. Admission requires passing an evaluation that includes mastering 8 out of 10 skills. In this level, athletes receive focused instruction and individualized coaching to refine their abilities, gain course experience, and build the strength and confidence needed for future Competitive Team tryouts. It serves as a supportive preparation stage for those aiming to reach the highest level of ninja training.

NOTE: The desire to compete is not required to join this level. Some athletes enjoy the challenge of advancing their skills, but do not have the desire to compete. This is something we will talk about on a 1/1 basis, and while we do encourage competition it is not a requirement.
