We are excited to announce the introduction our new team, open to ages eight and up. This team focuses on building obstacle skills, strategies, techniques, as well as the body awareness and strength needed to succeed. We will emphasize training for competitions, and will travel as a team to various regional ninja competitions throughout Washington, Oregon, and British Columbia. Our team goals include:
- Fostering a team environment for kids and adults with a shared interest
- Learning advanced obstacle skills and techniques
- Building strength needed to be successful on challenging obstacles
- Developing strategies for speed and efficiency on timed course runs
- Treating team members and coaches with respect and supporting everyone’s efforts
- Learning the competitive format and rules of the Ultimate Ninja Athlete Association (UNAA), and Canadian Ninja League (CNL)
- Strongly encouraging and facilitating participation at ninja competitions in our area, including all Life Force Ninja competitions
Some of you may wonder why we have not split our team into age divisions. We believe ninja is a sport that can be trained and developed with kids and adults together. It is a unique sport in that kids are often just as capable, if not more capable, of achieving similar feats on the course. We also want to encourage “ninja families”, and provide opportunity for kids and parents to train and play together.
